Roseville police detectives and the Folsom Police Department SWAT team have arrested a robbery suspect in Folsom, according to a news release.
The SWAT team was called during the action on Thursday because the suspect was possibly armed, according to the Roseville Police Department release. Officers surrounded the house where the suspect was.
The suspect initially refused to surrender but finally gave up without further incident around 7:10 p.m. after an almost 4-hour standoff, the release states.
Scott Christopher Hamilton, 22, of Folsom is being held in the Placer County Jail on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy, the release states. His bail is set at $250,000.
Hamilton is suspected of robbing an 81-year-old Roseville woman on the evening of March 20, the release states.
The woman had just arrived home and was walking from her garage to her door when a male grabbed her purse from her arms and ran away. The victim was frightened, but did not report otherwise being injured, the release states.
Because of the ongoing investigation, a booking photo of Hamilton was not released.
