TEMECULA, Calif. (KABC) -- A man peacefully surrendered to authorities after an hours long standoff with Riverside County Sheriff's SWAT team in Temecula on Saturday afternoon.

Arthur Taylor, 59, of Sacramento, was wanted on an outstanding warrant for a stabbing earlier in the day in Northern California. Deputies got a tip that Taylor was reportedly barricaded in a home in the 31000 block of Monique Circle around 12:50 p.m.

It was unclear if Taylor was armed. He surrendered shortly before midnight and was taken into custody.

Anyone with any information related to this incident is asked to call the Temecula Police Department at (951) 696-3000.
