\t\t\t\t\t\tSACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Residents in an Arden-Arcade neighborhood say they are still shaken after doorbell camera video showed a man carrying a knife and approaching homes, an incident that has drawn widespread attention and raised questions about why he was initially released from custody.<\/p>\n
The Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office said 56-year-old Brian Mattson was seen Thursday evening approaching homes on La Sierra Drive with a knife in his hand.<\/p>\n
Deputies arrested Mattson on Saturday morning, but investigators determined they could only book him on a criminal trespassing charge, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Lt. Amar Gandhi of the Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office said deputies asked probation officials to place a probation violation hold on Mattson because he is on felony probation, but that request was initially denied.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe asked probation for a probation violation to hopefully keep him in custody longer. That was declined,\u201d Gandhi said. \u201cSo he was out within, I want to say, about 90 minutes or so. So he got in and out of jail super fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neighbors said the release added to their frustration and concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith all the national press that this has gotten in the last 72 hours, the story seems to be changing a little bit,\u201d neighbor Michael Deauville said. \u201cAnd we just want the community to know kind of where we stand on the issues at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deauville said the incident has pushed residents to better understand how the justice system works and where breakdowns may have occurred.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes us want to dive back in understanding how the system works, because clearly there\u2019s a system in place here that I will admit I\u2019m not as familiar with 48 or 72 hours ago as I feel like I am now,\u201d Deauville said. \u201cBut there are a lot of pieces of this pie, and it\u2019s so easy to point the finger at one individual group where maybe there was a lapse in judgment or something that could have been done better.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Mattson was released, the sheriff\u2019s office distributed his photo to the public for safety awareness and asked anyone who may have been a victim or had information about him to come forward.<\/p>\n
Hours later, deputies responded to another trespassing call involving Mattson near Fair Oaks Boulevard and San Lucas Way, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. This time, a probation violation hold was approved, and Mattson was taken back into custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a systemic failure, we believe, and we want to learn from it and make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
KCRA 3 repeatedly contacted Sacramento County Probation by phone and email for comment on the initial decision not to place a hold on Mattson, but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n
Even so, Deauville said neighbors are trying to focus less on blame and more on practical steps to improve safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sheriff\u2019s office has been in contact with many community members and neighbors, pointing out suggestions on how we can be sure this doesn\u2019t happen, but also making sure we feel safe moving forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Residents are now organizing to strengthen neighborhood communication and discuss forming a community watch group, Deauville said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a future date coming up with local members of our local area and our neighborhood to kind of sit down and talk about this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
