A Santa Maria man was arrested Monday afternoon after a two-and-a-half hour-long standoff with police.
Alexis Perez-Alcantar, 22, was wanted on suspicion of assaulting a family member, attempting to assault multiple people with a knife, vandalism, and brandishing a firearm during a family dispute Sunday night in the 1700 block of S. Depot Street.
According to the Santa Maria Police Department, officers were unable to locate Perez-Alcantar following the incident Sunday night. At about 1:30 p.m. on Monday, they received information that he was at a home in the 700 block of E. El Camino Street.
When officers arrived, Perez-Alcantar reportedly barricaded himself in the garage. All other occupants in the home were able to get out safely, according to police.
Perez-Alcantar eventually surrendered and was taken into custody.
He was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on a warrant for charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, assault, and vandalism. His bail was set at $1 million.
