Santa Barbara, Calif. – Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic disturbance in the 4400 block of Hollister Avenue that resulted in a suspect brandishing a knife and refusing to surrender.

At approximately 11:34 a.m., deputies were dispatched to a report of a domestic dispute at an apartment complex. Upon arrival, deputies contacted a male subject in the area who was armed with a knife.
