Barricaded Suspect in Paso Robles Surrenders Peacefully

On Monday night, March 29 at around 6 pm, local dispatchers received a 911 call from a hysterical female off of the 2400 Block of Branch Creek in Paso Robles. The line then disconnected. A callback from dispatchers could hear a female crying and coughing. The line then disconnected again. Paso Robles Police Officers then raced to the scene to hear the sounds of a struggle inside, but nobody would answer the door. Fearing the female was in trouble, officers booted the door and were met by a female victim and young child who escaped the house. The female victim was suffering from a laceration to the back of her head. The suspect, 25-year-old Ivan Peraltabarrios, retreated deeper into the apartment. As officers pushed into the apartment, they spoke with Peraltabarrios who barricaded himself in a bathroom. Peraltabarrios stated he was armed and would not surrender and mentioned that police would have to shoot him. Undeterred, officers continued their efforts to speak with Peraltabarrios by cell phone and after nearly an hour, were able to successfully negotiate a peaceful surrender. Peraltabarrios was arrested without further incident and was booked into the SLO County Jail charged with felony domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, threats with the intent to terrorize, and willful delay of an officer.
