On Wednesday, September 13, shortly before 8:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Stardust Place for a trespassing incident. When officers arrived, they encountered two individuals barricaded inside of a vehicle on private property. Officers learned that the adult male had an outstanding warrant for domestic violence involving the other party inside the vehicle. It also appeared the other party inside the vehicle was being held against their will. Officers could not see inside the car and could not verify if all parties were safe. The Alameda Police Department Critical Incident Response Team was called, which included specially trained crisis negotiators to help peacefully and safely resolve the incident.
After more than seven hours, officers peacefully resolved the incident. An adult male was arrested and booked into Santa Rita Jail for trespassing, outstanding warrants, and a restraining order violation. In addition to APD’s Critical Incident Response Team, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and the Alameda Fire Department Tactical Medics offered additional support. We thank the residents, businesses, and commuters for their patience and cooperation during this incident.
