Citrus Heights police said a SWAT team was called out and a 31-year-old man was arrested on domestic violence charges Monday, after the alleged victim was sent to the hospital from injuries.
According to a police news release, the incident occurred early Monday morning, with officers responding to a 911 call on the 7800 block of Beaupre Way, near Sayonara Drive. Understanding the man to be inside, police said they attempted to make contact by phone, but were unsuccessful.
Due to the “seriousness of the crime and the suspect’s criminal history,” a SWAT team then conducted a search of the home, but was unable to find the man inside, according to the news release.

Sergeant Mike Wells told The Sentinel that officers later found the man driving his vehicle and conducted a felony vehicle stop on Mariposa Avenue near Antelope Road. He said the man was taken into custody “without incident.”
In a statement Monday afternoon, CHPD Lieutenant Jason Russo said the Department “takes reports of domestic violence very seriously,” and thanked the officers and community members involved.
