An Orland area man was taken into custody early Friday evening after he allegedly threatened his mother and barricaded himself inside her home.
At about 6:05 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 22, Glenn County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to 6474 County Road 21, south of Orland between Interstate 5 and Highway 99, for an open 911 call with a disturbance heard in the background.
Deputies responded to the scene with lights and sirens, as did Orland police officers a couple of minutes later.
Orland Fire Department volunteers also responded to the area and were asked to stage away from the scene.
The reporting party, Sylvia Del Carmen Lopez, said that her son, Joseph Daniel Lopez II, 36, was barricaded inside the residence and had a knife in his possession.
Lopez reportedly threatened his mother, and allegedly threatened to kill deputies and himself.
Lopez and deputies were at a standoff for about a half-hour.
At one point, beanbags were fired at Lopez, but he returned to the house after being shot.
A Taser was also deployed (unsuccessfully) against Lopez.
Lopez was ultimately taken into custody.
He was taken to Glenn Medical Center in Willows for treatment of the injuries he sustained from being shot with the beanbags, then, after being medically cleared, he was transported to the Glenn County Jail.
There, he was booked on charges alleging trespassing (a misdemeanor), exhibition of a deadly weapon other than a firearm (a misdemeanor), and obstructing or resisting an executive officer (a felony).
Bail for Lopez was set at $30,000.
He was released on Saturday, Sept. 23.
