April 8, 2009 - Hostage Situation on I-80
Chief Stan Perez was the Incident Commander at this 8-hour hostage situation involving a man with a shotgun holding captive his wife and three children. Multiple SWAT teams from Placer County, Nevada County, and the CHP were deployed, as were officers and deputies from each agency. Negotiators secured the release of all hostages, following which the suspect surrendered. Five lives were saved - including that of the hostage taker - thanks to the great police work of all involved.Related links from the News Archive:
