A brief standoff ensued earlier today on the corner of Salinas and Pitos streets as Santa Barbara Police responded to reports of a shirtless man screaming and breaking things inside his apartment unit. A reporting party also said the man began to punch their vehicle and ran away thereafter. Police surrounded the man’s home with Tasers in hand waiting for him to come out as neighbors anxiously witnesses the scene unfold.
The suspect refused to cooperate with authorities, and soon after, a spokesperson for the property’s owner approached the officers. Police left without making an arrest because they explained the man was not breaking any laws by acting as he pleases inside his own residence. However, authorities did assure they would be checking the area throughout the day for any further strange activity by this individual.
Watch video of the scene below.
