A hit-and-run crash in Anaheim Wednesday turned into a standoff when the driver climbed onto the roof of a nearby home and refused to come down for three hours.
The suspect threw a rock through the window of his girlfriend's home, then fled and was involved in a hit-and-run crash around 12:15 a.m. in the 1700 block of West Castle Avenue, according to Sgt. M. John with the Anaheim Police Department. The man left the crash scene and climbed onto the roof a home in the neighborhood and, when officers arrived, he began throwing roof tiles at them, police said.
After hours of talking with the suspect, he surrendered around 3 a.m. and was arrested, John said.
The man will be charged with vandalism and hit-and-run, police said.
No officers were injured in the standoff.
