On August 15, 2012 at 12:09 a.m., Anthony Allen Perrie, age 28, of Santa Barbara, was arrested for
domestic battery, robbery, terrorist threats, and resisting or delaying an officer following a three-hour
standoff.
On August 14, 2012 at 9:09 p.m., Sergeant Kenny Kushner observed Perrie standing on a corner at the
intersection of Indio Muerto Street and Salinas Street. Earlier in the day Perrie had failed to appear in
court for a preliminary hearing and as a result a $50,000.00 felony warrant for domestic battery had
been issued for his arrest. When Sergeant Kushner contacted Perrie in an attempt to arrest him Perrie
fled, running into the apartment at 218 S. Salinas Street #6, where he resides with his mother.
When Perrie ran into the residence his mother exited and informed the responding officers that not long
before he had committed a strong-arm robbery against her, taking a small amount of cash, and
subjected her to death threats.
Perrie barricaded himself in the apartment and refused demands to exit. An additional arrest warrant
for Perrie was obtained for robbery, terrorist threats, and resisting or delaying an officer. Additionally, a
search warrant was obtained for the premise. At 11:59 p.m., following several verbal commands for
Perrie to exit, officers forced entry into the apartment. A light and sound diversionary device, also
known as a flash-bang, was deployed outside of Perrie's bedroom window as officers breached the front
door of the apartment. Inside they found that Perrie had barricaded himself in his bedroom, tying the
door with rope and blocking it with furniture.
The bedroom door was breached with a battering ram and once open, Perrie was given warnings to
surrender or else a police canine would be sent into his room. Perrie refused to come out and
subsequently SBPD canine Hondo was deployed. The canine, however, was unsuccessful in pulling
Perrie from the room. Perrie was then shot twice with less than lethal beanbag rounds fired from a
police shotgun. Upon being struck Perrie announced that he was going to surrender. When officers
attempted to handcuff Perrie he still physically resisted, although he was ultimately taken into custody.
Perrie as transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where he was medically cleared for booking. He
was then booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on the aforementioned warrants with a bail amount of
$50,000.00.
