BASSETT - Deputies are awaiting a judge to sign a search warrant to look for the weapon a suspect was seen carrying with him as he fled deputies into a home Thursday.

The suspect was seen sitting in a vehicle on Temple Avenue around 5:30 p.m. The suspect was known to deputies and he fled from them while they tried to detain him, according to Lt. Reynaga of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Industry Station.

The suspect fled into his residence, not too far from where he was sitting in the stolen vehicle. Deputies converged on the home and called on the suspect to surrender, Reynaga said.

Two occupants of the home exited and were detained before the suspect finally surrendered.

The two other occupants are detained until the home can be searched.

No booking information was available for the armed suspect.
