Woman Arrested at Gunpoint in Santa Barbara

By Blazer

At 4:45 pm Thursday, a Santa Barbara County Sheriff Officer ran a check on a vehicle traveling eastbound on Canon Perdido in Santa Barbara.

The parole check resulted in a traffic stop involving 12 police and sheriff units, as well as a K-9 officer.  With several officers training their weapons on a black sedan with a female driver, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.

The female was the only person in the vehicle and is suspected of firing a weapon on Wednesday in Goleta. The corner of Canon Perdido and Castillo Streets were blocked by sheriff and city police vehicles for about half an hour. 

No shots were fired, no officers were injured and the suspect cooperated with commands from at least 7 officers on the scene.

  1. Before you guys go criticizing how the police handle a situation like this, with a potentially armed individual, you need to spend the day with a cop and do a ride along. Jeff, to insinuate half of our police force is bad is utter BS, totally disrespectful, and completely hypocritical, if some crazy guy was pounding on your front door late at night you’ll be calling them ASAP hoping they bring as many as possible.
