Deputies from the Perris Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to the area of Alexander and Markham streets around 1:45 p.m. to assist CHP with a hit and run traffic collision involving two pickup trucks.
The vehicles were described as a black or dark-colored Nissan Titan and a white or light-colored truck that overturned and came to rest upside down on its roof. One of the two trucks had been pulling a trailer loaded with a tractor.
Deputies assigned to the Sheriff’s Aviation Unit also responded to the area to assist CHP in locating a man who reportedly fled the scene of the crash, Riverside Sheriff’s Sgt. Deanna Pecoraro reported after the incident.

While patrol deputies were still responding to the area, Sheriff’s aviation members arrived in the area in Star-9 and soon spotted the alleged suspect running through a field near the area where the collision occurred.
The helicopter crew began providing updates to officers and deputies and followed the man as he fled into a residential neighborhood.
As deputies on the ground converged on the area, Star-9 updated that the fleeing man had run to a home on the 18000 block of Cable Ln., where he made force entry into the residence, according to Pecoraro.

“As deputies responded to the residence and began approaching, the suspect fired a weapon toward the deputies,” the Sgt. described; saying no deputies were hit or injured by the discharged rounds.
“Due to the suspect being barricaded with a weapon and shooting at deputies, SWAT was called to the scene,” Pecoraro continued. “Once on scene, SWAT made multiple attempts to have the suspect surrender.”
The suspect refused to surrender to officials at the scene, leading to a barricaded standoff.
