East County News Service

February 20, 2017 (Santee) – A SWAT team stand-off in the 8500 block of Massery Lane in Santee has ended peacefully. 

The incident began this morning, when deputies responded to a report of a man who violated a restraining order. While en route, deputies learned that the suspect was armed with a handgun. Upon arrival, deputies heard a discussion coming from inside the house about the gun and were able to get two people to come outside. The suspect refused to exit, so crisis negotiators were called, along with the Sheriff’s special enforcement detail.

After several hours, the suspect exited the home and was taken into custody.  He was booked into San Diego Central Jail, said Sergeant Kenneth Lawrence.
