There were no injuries reported and the sheriff’s department had no information on losses incurred in the incident, Sheriff’s Lt. Pat McEvoy said.
Authorities had been searching for a man they said was armed and dangerous. He was described as a 6-feet-tall Latino man with a goatee wearing a black hoodie with a white logo and gray pants. He had a green bandana hanging from his pocket, officials said.
