Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN MARINO - A man who escaped an ambulance Sunday morning surrendered to authorities after taking refuge on a residential roof. The man was coaxed down through the work of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Mental Evaluation Team, which talked to the man for at least three hours during the standoff, authorities said. It is unclear when the man was finally detained. Numerous calls to the San Marino Police Department have gone unanswered. The man was being transported in a rescue ambulance when he escaped in nothing but blue boxers at California Boulevard and Sierra Madre Boulevard in San Marino around 12:40 a.m. March 31. By the afternoon, San Marino Police and Pasadena Police searched yard to yard for the man on the Pasadena/San Marino border in the neighborhoods around San Pasqual Street and Sierra Madre Boulevard, according to San Marino Police radio traffic.
The man was found in a yard. He was very agitated, moving from the ground to the roof. Power was cut as he was seen clutching what is believed to be a power line to the home. Los Angeles County Firefighters and the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau also assisted. |
