Additional information was provided that led Roseville Police Department to the suspect at the Chipotle on Douglas Blvd. The suspect was arrested at 1:15 p.m. without incident. An AR-15 style weapon was found in the suspect’s vehicle. The Roseville Police Department will continue to investigate to ensure that there are no other threats related to this incident. There are no other suspects and no direct threats were made to the schools.
