When officers arrived, they discovered that an assault had been committed against an elderly victim by a family member.
Officers attempted to make contact with the man, a 38-year-old Fairfield resident. The man refused to cooperate with officers and threatened them with a hammer, before barricading himself inside of the residence. No other people were inside.
