Police arrested a Guadalupe man Wednesday night after a standoff following an alleged domestic violence incident, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers from the Guadalupe Police Department responded around 3:45 p.m. to Escalante Meadows, an apartment complex in the 1000 block of Escalante Street in Guadalupe. 

A Guadalupe man who refused to leave his apartment or allow his partner and three children to exit was arrested Wednesday evening after more than three hours of negotiations with law enforcement

The suspect, identified as David Mario Urias, 35, allegedly refused to allow his partner or children to exit the apartment, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Raquel Zick said.

He also refused law enforcement orders to come outside, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Guadalupe police requested assistance from the Sheriff’s Office, which sent deputies, K-9 units, the Special Enforcement Team, the Crisis Negotiation Team and County Air Support. Drone operators from the Santa Maria Police Department also assisted.

Urias eventually surrendered to law enforcement after more than three hours of negotiations with law enforcement, Zick said. Deputies determined he also had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest.

He was booked into the Northern Branch Jail on suspicion of obstructing a public officer and false imprisonment, along with warrants for allegations of burglary and violation of probation, according to Sheriff’s Office records. His bail was set at $50,000.

No injuries were reported among the family members, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
