Pleasanton Police arrest armed man in domestic dispute, situation forces shelter-in-place

PLEASANTON (CBS SF) -- Pleasanton Police arrested an armed man Wednesday morning at an apartment complex involved in a domestic dispute, but not before the city ordered a shelter-in-place while negotiating his surrender.

Officers arrested 35-year-old Jacob Mauck after locking himself in his apartment for almost four hours and refusing orders from police to surrender while armed with a handgun.

At 7:36 a.m., officers received reports of a domestic dispute at Civic Square Apartments, located at 4890 Bernal Avenue. When they arrived, the victim ran out of the apartment. She then informed responding authorities that Mauck was inside and armed.

The city of Pleasanton ordered a shelter-in-place for residents near a local apartment complex Wednesday morning as police handled a situation there.

City officials sent out the order around 8:30 a.m., saying it was due to police activity at Civic Square Apartments at 4890 Bernal Avenue. 

"All residents are asked to shelter in place due to police activity in the area. Please stay inside your apartments and away from doors and windows until further notification," the order stated.

The apartment complex is nearby the Pleasanton Police Department headquarters.

A minute before 9 a.m., Pleasanton Police provided details on the situation, saying it wasn't a hostage situation but started with a domestic disturbance.

Several units from outside the Pleasanton Police Department helped in negotiating Mauck's surrender, including the East County Tactical Team and Alameda County Sheriff's Office UAV unit. 

Mauck finally surrendered at 10:30 a.m. He was arrested without incident and booked into Santa Rita Jail for criminal threats, brandishing a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
