Crisis negotiators and SWAT responded, and the teen was taken into custody without injuries. He was booked into Juvenile Hall on assault with a deadly weapon charges.

Overnight, officers made two additional arrests during traffic incidents. At Fruitridge Road and Carmela Way, police stopped an electric bicycle after a brief pursuit and recovered an illegal firearm. The suspect was arrested. And near Meadowview Road and Amherst Street, officers located a stolen vehicle and arrested the driver. All cases remain under investigation.
