Elk Grove police have taken a 21-year-old man into custody after he initially retreated into a house when officers tried to serve a warrant for his arrest Wednesday, causing SWAT personnel to respond, a police spokesman said.
Officers originally responded at about 1 p.m., to the 8700 block of Corbally Court to serve a felony arrest warrant for Brandon Gutierrez, wanted on suspicion of probation violation and a weapons charge, said Elk Grove police spokesman Officer Chris Trim.
When the suspect exited the residence and saw officers outside, he ran back into the home, Trim said. Officers attempted to contact him verbally and by phone, but were unsuccessful, he said.
Not knowing if there were other people or weapons inside the residence, police called out a SWAT team at about 1:50 p.m., Trim said. A perimeter was set up around the residence, and one adjacent house was evacuated, he said.
Before SWAT personnel attempted to make entry into the home, however, the suspect attempted to flee on foot just after 3 p.m., Trim said. He was captured by a police department K-9, sustaining a bite injury to his arm, and was taken into custody.
After he is medically cleared, Gutierrez will be booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail, Trim said.
