Citrus Heights Police officers responded to a call in the 7000 block of Zeeland Drive late Sunday night in response to a domestic violence call.
According to police, the second party in the domestic dispute fled the scene before officers arrived. Because of privacy rights for domestic violence victims, police did not disclose the gender or age of either party.
Several local residents reported hearing a helicopter in the area, and indicated police were searching for an adult male late Sunday night.
Sgt. William Dunning with the Citrus Heights Police Department told The Sentinel Tuesday afternoon that a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office helicopter was dispatched just after 9 p.m. on Sunday, April 7, and that a perimeter was established.
According to police, the helicopter searched the perimeter for roughly 40 to 45 minutes before the scene was cleared. Dunning confirmed that a K9 Unit was deployed during the search. Police could not confirm whether the person of interest was on parole at the time of the search.
As of Tuesday, Dunning said the person being sought by police had not yet been apprehended.
