LAMONT, Calif. (KERO) — A man was arrested early Thursday morning in Lamont after a stand-off with police that ended with authorities using a K-9.
According to the Kern County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a report of a man threatening a delivery driver with a crowbar. When they arrived in the 10900 block of Main Street, they found the suspect had barricaded himself inside a "seatrain."
Authorities tried for several hours to get the suspect to surrender in both English and Spanish, but he refused to exit. At which point deputies made entry and used a K-9 to secure the suspect at around 10:30 a.m.
Out of an abundance of caution, Lamont Elementary School was placed on lockdown during the situation.
