He came out of his home and was taken into custody around 5:30 a.m.
Caupp, who police said appeared to be having “mental issues,” was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
Some neighbors in Riverside woke up to the sounds of sirens, but one told News Center 7 he was sound asleep and became aware of the standoff as he got ready for his day.
“I see all the police and SWAT team stuff like that here. We just woke up to go to work but...oh my God, its a surprise” William Moraga said.
Police said multiple felony and misdemeanor charges will be filed.
