K9 Officer Philbert Apprehends Barricaded Suspect After 3 Hour Standoff in Antelope
ANTELOPE, CA — “Just after 8 AM this morning, Sheriff’s North Patrol Deputies, along with K9 responded to reports of vandalism, and assault with a deadly weapon (knife) call. The suspect was identified as 27-year-old Yashdeep Singh. Deputies established a perimeter, evacuated nearby residences, and attempted contact with Singh. Multiple other residents were inside the house, and the suspect refused to exit, going onto the roof, while making threats to kill people, and stab Deputies if the Sheriff’s Office didn’t leave.

The Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail, and Critical Incident Negotiators responded. Deputies attempted for hours to negotiate a peaceful surrender with Singh to no avail. Faced with the need to keep the public safe, and provide rescue to the occupants inside the home, K9 Philbert was utilized, along with less lethal options, and the suspect was apprehended. Singh was later booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail after being medically cleared at a local area hospital.
Singh was booked into custody for multiple charges related to this incident, including assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, and criminal threats against his mother, as well as vandalism, and resisting arrest.”
