Fairfield Domestic Violence Suspect Arrested After Hours-Long Standoff

FAIRFIELD (CBS SF) -- An hours-long standoff between police in Fairfield and a domestic violence suspect ended peacefully Monday afternoon, police said.

The incident began at around 9:30 a.m. at a home on the 300 block of Santa Maria Drive. Fairfield police said officers responded to the home to investigate a disturbance and developed probable cause that a domestic violence incident had taken place and the suspect would not come out of the house.

A police department crisis negotiation team was called to the scene and after about two hours of negotiations with the suspect he surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody, police said.

The suspect was identified as 31-year-old Fairfield resident Carlos Gomez-Jauregui. He was booked into the Solano County Jail for domestic violence-related charges.

Police did not release additional details. Those with information about the incident were asked to contact detectives at (707) 428-7600.
