Roseville man, barricaded in his home, is arrested after 10-hour police standoff

After a 10-hour standoff Tuesday, a man who barricaded himself inside his West Roseville home was arrested, the Roseville Police Department said.

Kelly Bronson, 44, was barricaded inside a residence off of Stonecrest Drive and was under arrest as of 7:45 p.m., Roseville police said.

Police officers and Placer County probation officials arrived at the house at 9:15 a.m. to conduct a probation search, Roseville police said. Bronson was on felony probation for previous weapons violations, according to police.

After law enforcement arrived, Bronson fled into an unknown area of the house. Officers set up a perimeter and tried to make contact, Roseville police said. Police said he was armed and alone inside the house.

After failing to make contact with Bronson, police breached the house and found him. He was arrested without incurring any injuries, police said.

Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District tweeted at 12:47 p.m. that nearby Coyote Ridge Elementary School released students early due to the police activity.

An earlier tweet by the school said it had been informed of police activity about 9:43 a.m. and entered a “secure school protocol,” meaning students and staff remained inside with doors locked, but teachers continued to teach.

Neighboring houses were evacuated and people were warned to avoid the area, according to police.
