The backstory:
On Jan. 23, Roseville police were called out to a disturbance at a home on Kathy Avenue allegedly involving Waldrep. Police say Waldrep was intoxicated and armed while behaving aggressively toward his wife, 25-year-old Bryanna Waldrep.
According to authorities, Waldrep allegedly forced entry into the home, injuring her in the process. He then barricaded himself inside the home.
Bryanna was able to escape and hid in a neighboring residence.
Then, as police responded, Waldrep allegedly discharged a rifle at one of the officers, striking a police vehicle and hitting an officer in the head, which was later deemed non-life threatening.
Waldrep allegedly continued firing from within the residence during an extended armed standoff.
This then led to officers breaching the home with an armored vehicle, completely splintering the front of the house.
He was arrested without further injury to officers or civilians and is currently hospitalized.
Roseville officer shot, suspect arrested after standoff
Dozens of police vehicles were spotted in the neighborhood, blocking off access to streets in the area south of I-696. It's unclear what led to the shooting.
What's next:
A judge set Waldrep’s bond at $2 million cash. If Waldrep makes bond, he must be outfitted with a steel cuff tether and have no contact with the victim or witnesses.
He would also be subject to home confinement and would not be allowed to have any alcohol or drugs.
Waldrep is scheduled for a Probable Cause Conference on Feb. 11 and a Preliminary Exam on Feb. 18.
