A medical building in Santee was evacuated Saturday while San Diego County sheriff’s deputies searched for a possibly armed suspect only to find an unarmed man experiencing a mental health crisis.<\/p>\n
The deputies were called just before 3 p.m. Saturday to the Sharp Rees- Stealy Medical Group building at 8701 Cuyamaca St., near Buena Vista Avenue, according to Sgt. Steve Chambers of the Santee Sheriff’s Station.<\/p>\n
Deputies evacuated the building “in an abundance of caution” while searching for the reported suspect, and eventually found a man experiencing a mental health crisis but no weapons, Chambers said. A further description of the man was not provided.<\/p>\n
The man was taken into custody and evaluated by a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team clinician before being placed on a 72-hour hold for mental health treatment, the sergeant said.<\/p>\n
There were no injuries to patients, medical staff or deputies, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A medical building in Santee was evacuated Saturday while San Diego County sheriff’s deputies searched for a possibly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[97,252,253,9447,174045,174046],"class_list":{"0":"post-349058","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health-care","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-health-care","10":"tag-healthcare","11":"tag-hospitals","12":"tag-san-diego-county-sheriffs-department","13":"tag-santee"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
