SWAT Deployed In Nearby Fairfield For Barricaded Suspect

SOLANO COUNTY, CA – Fairfield police called a SWAT team into a residential neighborhood Wednesday evening while arresting a man wanted on a felony warrant.

Officers were conducting a probation search in the 2700 block of Applewood Drive when 32-year-old Anthony Grande of Pittsburg fled from the scene and barricaded himself in a nearby home.

Police found that Grande was wanted on a felony warrant out of Contra Costa County. Officers did not know whether Grande was armed, but knew that he had carried guns in the past, police said.
