The residence in which Watts was holed up may have contained weapons, but Bourff said the results of the search warrant that had been executed at the home following Watts’ arrest have not yet been turned over to the prosecutor’s office.
Watts was arrested after a police officer arrived at the home to serve arrest warrants for parole and probation violations, but the suspect refused to come to the door or exit the home. Because police were unsure as to whether or not there were weapons in the home, the SWAT team was called to assist. He ultimately surrendered without further incident after officers secured the area around the residence.
