Turns out, Mr. Monzon was wanted by Police.

According to reports, Monzon was wanted on a DOC warrant for escape regarding an assault conviction.

Here's what happened.

When Police arrived at the residence, two adults and two children were safely removed from the home. After several minutes, a female exited and was arrested on warrants. Monzon, on the other hand, decided to stay inside the home. He would NOT exit the residence.

The unwanted "WANTED" guest barricaded himself in the home.

As K9 Ivan made his presence known by barking at the door, Monzon made a better decision by choosing to surrender.
