DETAILS:
On March 14, 2018, at 2:35 p.m., Detective Enrique Alvarez observed Mario Sanchez in the 3600 block of South E Street riding a motorcycle. Alvarez knew that Sanchez had an outstanding felony warrant for possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle. Uniformed officers attempted to contact Sanchez but he fled into a residence.
Officers made numerous announcements for Sanchez to exit his residence but he refused. His family was evacuated and the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) responded to assist. Officers continued attempts to establish communication with Sanchez without success.
Sanchez refused to exit his residence and chemical agents were introduced in the house. Sanchez ultimately exited but continued to be uncooperative and was apprehended by the police canine.
During further investigation, officers determined that the motorcycle Sanchez was riding had previously been reported stolen out of the City of Oxnard.
Sanchez was medically cleared at a local hospital and was booked into the Ventura County Jail for possession of a stolen motorcycle, resisting arrest and an outstanding felony warrant.
