SACRAMENTO, California — A man was captured after being holed up inside the building for California's Franchise Tax Board Sunday evening.
Sgt. Amar Gandhi, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, said the man broke into the building around 6:30 p.m. by smashing a window with a tire iron. He was confronted by security guards inside the building, who he allegedly threatened with the tire iron. Gandhi said there were reports of him attacking a security guard, however, deputies are still investigating to see if any guard was, indeed, attacked.
According to Sgt. Gandhi, the suspect ran off to another part of the building after security wouldn't give him an access key. Deputies sequestered him to one wing of the building and used a drone to keep track of him and start a dialogue.
He eventually ran out of the building and K9 was used to bring him into custody.
It's not clear what the man's motive was for the incident. Gandhi said the man had also stolen a truck nearby in eastern Sacramento County before the incident and drove it to the Franchise Tax Board.
The suspect was described as a white man in his 30s.
