A SWAT action that forced the evacuation of at least a half-dozen homes ended shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday in northwest La Mesa when a man was Tasered on his porch, police said.

A parolee accused of making threats against his son was arrested following the nearly eight-hour standoff with officers, police said. KGTV Channel 10 News identified the father as William Warnock.

The station quoted La Mesa police Lt. David Bond as saying Warnock is a parolee because of a felony charge of evading police and said Warnock would be booked on charges of making a criminal threat and assault with a deadly weapon.

Police were called to a home in the 6100 block of Blain Place near Dallas Street about 10 p.m. Tuesday after the man, who is in his 50s, made the threats, said La Mesa police Sgt. Ted Fenn.

He refused to come out and speak with officers, prompting the standoff, which involved La Mesa police and an El Cajon SWAT team, Fenn said.

Officers set off flash-bang grenades to coax the man out, but the standoff persisted until shortly after 6 a.m., when the man came out onto a porch and was Tasered by an officer, police said.

He was then arrested without further incident. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Warnock’s wife—who had left the house—told officers that her husband was a Vietnam veteran who had access to a rifle, shotgun and a pistol.

Police took their time with the standoff because they thought the man had access to several weapons, including a pistol, shotgun and rifle, 10 News reported from the scene.

The station reported that the man was a 59-year-old Vietnam veteran with a conviction for evading police. He allegedly threatened his son with a screwdriver.
