Suspect surrenders after Rocklin standoff

The Rocklin Police Department asked people to avoid the area of Grove Street and Kokila Court Saturday morning.

ROCKLIN, Calif. — A standoff prompted heavy police presence in Rocklin Saturday, the Rocklin Police Department said.

At 9:13 a.m., the department posted to X asking people to avoid the area of 5415 Grove Street for what was only described at the time as heavy police presence due to an "active incident."

Authorities say 36-year-old Kevin Wasson forced his way into a neighbor's apartment, but then returned to his own and barricaded himself. 

Officers were called to the scene and tried to negotiate with Wasson to get him to surrender. After a multi-hour-long standoff, officers used flash-bangs. 

Police say Wasson was arrested without further incident and that residents may now return to the area.
