Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) personnel worked throughout the morning and into the afternoon to get a man barricaded in an Express Car Wash, behind its entryway metal rolling gate, out and in custody.

Around 7:04 a.m., authorities responded to the Express Car Wash on the 15500 block of Valley Boulevard, City of Industry for a suspect wanted for alleged armed assault with a deadly weapon.  

The intersection at Hacienda Boulevard and Valley Boulevard remained blocked off as law enforcement crisis negotiators worked with the man, seen through the gate shirtless, wearing shorts and drinking something, to get him to exit. Gas was used to finally get the man out.

Around 12:30 p.m., sheriff deputies said the suspect was taken into custody.
