A man barricaded himself in his house Friday evening after his wife left the residence and called police from the Shops at Mission Viejo, according to a Sheriff’s spokesperson. The wife reported her husband had been drinking, and assaulted and threatened to kill her.
About 25 officers responded, including a SWAT team. The 47-year-old man remained in the home until 10:30 pm when he peacefully surrended. He was being held at the Theo Lacy Jail pending bail of $20,000.
The incident occurred in the 25600 block of Pacific Crest Drive, northeast of the Oso/Marguerite intersection.
