The Pleasanton Police Department arrested a 39-year-old Pleasanton man Sunday evening after he allegedly brandished a weapon and threatened to kill another person in their home, police said.

According to a social media post by PPD, officers responded to a residence Sunday evening on the 6000 block of Alisal Street. The suspect had allegedly made “threats towards another resident of the property during a verbal altercation,” said PPD Lt. Nicholas Albert.

Albert said “both involved parties reside on the same property which has several structures.”

“It was reported to PPD at the time of the call that the suspect was armed with a firearm,” Albert told the Weekly, adding that other residents of the property were evacuated until the suspect was taken into custody.

The suspect surrendered to police without incident, according to PPD’s social media post, and he was subsequently booked at Santa Rita Jail on charges of brandishing a weapon and criminal threats.

PPD also stated that the incident was isolated and that there is “no ongoing threat to public safety.”
