Driver at center of downtown Sacramento police action being interviewed by US Marshals
SACRAMENTO -- One person has been detained after multiple streets in downtown Sacramento were shut down on Thursday morning due to what police said were "suspicious circumstances."
According to the FBI, at around 4:40 a.m., a big rig was parked on federal property along 501 I Street in downtown Sacramento. When asked by security officers to move, the driver allegedly refused. As a precaution, Sacramento police closed off roads in the area of 6th and I streets.
Then, at 7 a.m., the driver, a man, drove the big rig to a public area but then refused orders to get out, the FBI says. At around 9 a.m., police negotiators convinced the man to get out of the truck. He was then detained by the U.S. Marshals Service.
No further details have been released.
