UPDATE 6:55 p.m. - Tuesday night police released new information on an arrest on Vine Street in Paso Robles.
Police say just after midnight early Tuesday morning some tenants living in the downstairs of a multi-family residence in the 1400 block of Vine Street called 911 to report the upstairs tenant was breaking windows, yelling and flooding the home.
Officers say they arrived and along with crisis negotiators attempted to contact the upstairs tenant identified as 55-year-old Michael Mogge but Mogge refused to communicate with them and threw things out of the upstairs window and started a small fire in an upstairs balcony which eventually burned out.
Authorities add that they secured the area and maintained watch until around 9:30 a.m. when they say Mogge threw out more items from the window.
Detectives eventually got an arrest warrant and used chemical agents and diversionary devices to get Mogge to surrender but police say he continued to refuse.
Police and fire officials made entry into the home from an upstairs balcony around 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
Police say Mogge then tried to get away by jumping from the roof, injuring himself in the process.
Mogge was taken in custody, treated at a local hospital and then booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail.
