Today, at approximately 1450 hours, the Simi Valley Police Department dispatch center received a call of a, “Disturbance in Progress,” in the 1600 block of Dakin Ave. The call was regarding a male subject, who confronted two subjects while walking and stated that he was going to kill them with a rifle. The male subject then made a “shooting” hand gesture towards them and fled into a house.  Officers set up a perimeter around the house and began negotiations with the male subject.  At this point in time, the male subject began shooting a pellet gun in the backyard of the residence. 
 
At one point, the male subject exited the residence through the front door, and confronted officers in an aggressive manner.  Officers utilized less lethal force options, including a SAGE and a K9 to effectively take the subject into custody.  The male subject was identified as 40 year-old Simi Valley resident Gregory Fisher.  Fisher was arrested on two counts of 422 PC - Criminal Threats and one count of 69PC -Obstructing or Resisting an Officer using Force or Violence.  During this incident, the Simi Valley Police Department utilized a reverse 9-1-1 call system to alert residents in the area of the situation.  The Simi Valley Police Department would like to thank the residents for listening to that call and for staying out of the area while this situation was being safely resolved.
