[KHTS] – Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies responded Tuesday afternoon to a man threatening to kill himself in an armed standoff on the 29400 block of Abelia Road in Canyon Country.
Deputies are on scene and a negotiator has been contacted regarding the situation, according to Sheriff’s Station officials.
Deputies said they are working now to cordon off the area and prevent the man from hurting himself or others.
Neighbors reported the incident began shortly after 1 p.m.
Preliminary reports indicate the man is alone in the house and threatened to commit “suicide by cop.”
A neighborhood resident who contacted KHTS AM-1220 notes there have been numerous incidents reported to the address in the past, and said residents of the area “have been alert.”
Neighbors are reporting deputies have left the scene by 4 p.m., however, Sheriff’s Department officials are not yet able to confirm if anyone is in custody.

I was there I seen everything can’t believe the guy was not arrested again swinging two knives in the front yard and then he yelling at the cops threatening them takes one knife and throw it at a patrol car and then takes a pellet gun taking aim at the cop cars shooting them its officers at that time we’re taking cover , the suspect told the cops to leave get out of here so the cops told the suspect okay we’re leaving and they just took off just like that like nothing happened the suspect is still in his house
Next time document this by video taping.
I’m 4 houses away from this idiot. The sheriffs have been there numerous times. Nothing happens.
rick my brother and his family live right around the corner, they had NO idea .. Its unfortunate but the guy is obviously under stress and having mental issues .. Just don’t get it anymore so sad wish he gets help

The reason why he did not get arrested according to the sheriff’s is because it’s a family dispute.. I’m kind of curious why didn’t he get arrested for shooting his pellet gun and hitting the police cars and waving his to butcher knives on the grass threatening police officers and telling them how pathetic they are and telling them let’s fight let’s scrap and saying shoot me shoot me and if you’re not going to shoot me get the hell off my property Isn’t that grounds for an arrest?
No arrest were made..
Meanwhile at Walmart in Ohio…
John Toomey Carol Lynn Van Donselaar did you see this…
This guy has ben contacted MANY times by the Sheriff…I live in the neighborhood and we are all fed up with this idiot and his idiotic family…someone is going to get hurt or worse before the Sheriff does anything…we are planning to move as soon as we can find a new house
That blows
Was this in shadow pines?
Juan Lozano it was I drove by it wondering what it was!
This dude david is a scumbag he has all thia religious stuff on his page and instead of helping the man find a better path he takes time to talk down on him on the internet x)
I don’t know him lol.
Me either I just wanted to see if he’d say something haha
Omg…. He needs some mental therapy!!
@ David Devlin hello don’t move because of some idiotic we live here this is our home I live in the neighborhood as well don’t let these guys win these guys are just renters , I have heard these guys are being evicted so we won’t have to be dealing with these guys much cannot wait for the day.
Oh no David Devlin you live near this nut? Crazy. Invite him to Northpark Christmas concert. Haha.
Alfonso Estevan Montejano
Crazy
Good thing I was at work
Can you imagine what Sue is doing??
So sad someone feels so overwhelmed and depressed that they feel suicide is the only way to deal with it. Thank God for the LASD, God please provide them the supported hand to guide them. Please do not let this event scar their Christmas season.
Right on man.. Treat mental illness at its core I like it
I can’t get much closer than this…that’s my yard. Police department told me there is nothing to worry about. ;-/
You can find out through the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office who the owner is. Maybe you can contact the owner directly and let them know of your problem with the renter. It may help the eviction along if the owner has complaints from neighbors.
The owner has been contacted and shown pics from newspaper coverage etc…
Super crazy to come home from work and not be able to get to ur home because of some nut job. Nothing to worry about really??? Hmm…
When someone doesn’t get arrested is because the person has been diagnosed with a mental illness, when someone at school doesn’t her expelled or suspended for violence it’s because it’s memtal illness. The law protects people with mental illness and send them instead to a institution or transfer them to another school.
He should have been taken for a 72 hour hold!
The sheriffs pretty much told him, ok, goodbye. Have a nice day
Jake Thorne did you see this?
Sounds like at the bare minimum he should have been placed on a mental hold for being a danger to himself and or others. Just my opinion.
So confused cops had a justified arrest and justified shoot to kill! Neither were done makes me wonder who this special person is! Everyone in the neighborhood should call the Santa Clarita Sheriff station to make a report on the incompetent Sheriff’s! What a disgrace! While the good people in that neighborhood try to sleep with a deranged POS scumbag next door to them! Rest assured Santa Clarita residents the Sheriff’s will be making their quota on tickets given out to law abiding citizens today! Apparently we don’t like to get real bad guys off the streets!
Debi Jones Pelosi, your street….
Yep, down the street. Odd I didn’t hear anything.
They don’t arrest anybody in this town.
Seems like law enforcement can never win, they are dammed if they do dammed if they dont. Sad….
Remember? We recently passed a law making almost everything a misdemeanor. Thank you Jerry Brown.
Sylvia Almeida…while I get what you are saying you were not there…I was…you were also not there the other 20 times the police have been out to this guys house…I was …so I can tell you with confidence he is going to harm himself or God forbid someone else.The Police should have taken him to a 72 hour psychiatric hold but they did not
Oh Michelle Hoffmeister I am so sorry. So sad at the mental state that man and his family must be in and the stress it has caused you and your neighbors. Praying for you guys
Holy crap Michelle Hafemeister
The sheriffs department has been called to this house numerous times. Nothing happens. No arrests. He threatens neighbors with knives, drives 80mph down Abelia on his red street bike, fights in the street, and now this.
Stay safe sis!
I’m glad you’ve got some awesome neighbors. I’d be beyond fed up, I hope a resolution comes to your neighborhood soon, everyone deserves quiet enjoyment.
