On April 23, Roseville Police detectives went to the 100 block of Marble Canyon Drive in Folsom to arrest a man suspected of committing a robbery on March 20 in Roseville.
Because the suspect was possibly armed, the Folsom Police Department SWAT team responded and surrounded the house. The suspect initially refused to come out of the residence, but eventually surrendered to police without further incident at approximately 7:10 p.m., after an almost-four hour standoff.
