Police arrested a 33-year-old Lomita man at a Carlsbad Village motel Sunday after he brandished a samurai sword at paramedics responding to an unrelated medical emergency.
Police were dispatched around 9:40 a.m. Sunday to the Carlsbad Village Inn, at 1006 Carlsbad Village Drive, according to the Carlsbad Police Department. There were no details available concerning the unrelated medical emergency. Officers tried to make contact with the man, later identified as Eliot Rauk, through the door of his motel room, where he allegedly threatened to kill them while holding a handgun reported to have been seen through the room's window, police said. Some areas of the motel were evacuated, with the Carlsbad SWAT team responding shortly afterward.
Rauk then barricaded himself in the motel room for several hours while the police department's Crisis Negotiation Team tried to make -- and ultimately did make -- cell phone contact with him.
