UPDATE 11:40 a.m. – Authorities say a burglary suspect is in custody Thursday following an overnight standoff in Roseville.
According to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to Roseville in order to search for a possible burglary suspect. The Sheriff’s Office says the suspect, identified as a 38-year-old man, was known to deputies, as they had had an encounter with him the night before.
According to Roseville Police Chief Erika Scheider, the call came in as a report of someone checking for unlocked vehicle doors and apartment windows in Roseville, as well as the man trying to cut screens on a house window to get inside, around 12:45 a.m. on the 2200 block of Pascal Street.
A perimeter was eventually set up by deputies, who were then told the man was driving away.
Eventually, the vehicle was stopped, and the man then made comments about killing law enforcement members, the Sheriff’s Office says. He was able to drive away, but was stopped again, and refused to get out of the vehicle.
Authorities say the man wasn't compliant with deputies, and PepperBall was eventually used to get him out of the vehicle, where he was then arrested without incident.
