Grover Beach Police responded to reports of a disturbance inside a home allegedly involving an intoxicated man armed with a firearm.
Officers arrived at the scene around 4:45 pm in the 1200 block of Ramona Ave in Grover Beach.
Grover Beach Police along with Pismo Beach Police, Arroyo Grande Police, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office and California Park Rangers assessed the situation and determined the man was suffering from a mental health episode.
Agents were able to get the other residents out of the house and helped them find a place to spend the night.
For two hours, authorities tried to offer mental health resources, but said the man locked himself inside his home.
Grover Beach police said in a statement that “because no crimes were committed, officers left the scene after providing mental health assistance options.”
The department added that they have created a plan to follow up with the residents of the home.
If you are experiencing a crisis, Grover Beach Police recommend calling the Central Coast Hotline at (800) 783-0607.
