ROCKLIN, Calif. — A man was arrested in Rocklin Thursday after breaking into a house in Auburn, assaulting a woman, and stealing her cell phone, house and car keys.

The Placer County Sheriff's Office responded to a call at a home on McClintock Lane in Auburn around 5:30 p.m. A woman experienced a "violent assault."

Deputies searched for a suspect and got information the person was at a home in Rocklin. 

Upon arrival, deputies saw the suspect and he went inside a residence and barricaded himself in. Deputies saw an empty box for a high-powered rifle and an empty holster.
