Booking Photo Released of Temecula Standoff Suspect

Sheriff’s officials released the booking photo Sunday of a man who was the target of a SWAT call in Temecula for much of Saturday.

59-year-old Arthur Ben Taylor was arrested just before midnight following what sheriff’s officials described as a “lengthy standoff”— police received their first call to the house in the 31000 block Monique Circle at 12:52 p.m. and the SWAT team was assembled outside a few hours later.

As of Sunday afternoon, jail records indicated that Taylor was being held at the Murrieta jail without the possibility of bail. He’s being held on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges of assault.

Riverside County sheriff’s officials said Taylor is wanted in Northern California for a stabbing he’s accused of committing.
