A man in his 50s barricaded himself inside a Roseville apartment Friday morning after allegedly threatening to blow up management and throwing objects, including cans, at responding police officers. His adult son, who was also inside the home, managed to get out safely before officers moved in to try to talk the man outside.
Officers were sent to 1098 Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard around 11 a.m. after reports of a disturbance, according to Fox40. Reports indicated the man was screaming about the FBI and making threats about blowing up management, the station said. He is wanted on suspicion of making threats and assaulting officers, according to ABC10, which reported that Roseville police were negotiating with him as he remained holed up inside the unit.
Cans Thrown as Officers Tried to Make Contact
The man threw objects, including cans, at officers as they attempted to approach the apartment, per the same report from ABC10. Reports said he was unarmed but may have been under the influence of drugs, the station's account noted, though that detail was described only as a tentative possibility. His adult son was inside the home during the disturbance but was able to exit before the situation escalated further, according to the station.
Police Say They Believe He Is Alone Inside
Roseville patrol officers and crisis negotiators worked to get the man to come outside peacefully as the standoff continued. “We believe he is alone inside the residence, and we are actively working to communicate with him to exit peacefully,” police said, according to the station's reporting. Investigators said they had no indication anyone else remained inside the apartment with him.
The incident remained active as officers continued trying to make contact with the man. No further details on how the standoff concluded were available in the reporting.
