Deputies in standoff with Elk Grove chase suspect in Placer County

Deputies said he was barricaded in the car along the 3000 block of Amoruso Way in Placer County.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A standoff with a wanted man came to an end in the unincorporated area Roseville in Placer County.

Sgt. Amar Gandhi, spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, said the man had two felony warrants, one for domestic violence and one for a sex offender violation for failure to check in.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies tried to find the man after he didn't check in with them, but when they found him, he led them on a chase through Elk Grove around 2:30 p.m. 

Sgt. Gandhi said the man eventually ditched his car, carjacked another car by force and got away. However, he was spotted again around 7:30 p.m. in the area of Madison and San Juan avenues in Carmichael and allegedly led deputies on another chase into rural Roseville where the chase ended when the car got stuck in mud. 

The standoff lasted for about two hours along the 3000 block of Amoruso Way, but he ultimately surrendered.
