The standoff occurred after the man allegedly pulled a sword on paramedics during an unrelated medical incident at the Carlsbad Village Inn hotel
A man who police say was armed with a sword and a handgun at a Carlsbad hotel was arrested Sunday on suspicion of threatening to kill officers. The 33-year-old man surrendered after an hours-long standoff at the Carlsbad Village Inn, police said. Officers had responded to a report that the man drew a sword on paramedics about 9:40 a.m. during an unrelated medical call at the hotel, located on Carlsbad Village Drive, just west of Interstate 5, police said.
The man also took out a handgun, which officers saw through a window, the lieutenant said. Officers evacuated several areas of the motel. The SWAT team responded, along with crisis negotiators, who called the man's cellphone and talked with him for several hours, Jackowski said. About 2:40 p.m., the man walked out of his room and was taken into custody. Officers served a search warrant and found an automatic handgun and sword in the room, Jackowski said.
