Tara Hills Man Charged With Four Felonies After SWAT Standoff

by ECT

The Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office announced Monday that a man who barricaded himself in his Tara Hills residence last week has been charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor by the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office.

Jimmey Allen Parrish, 30, was charged with two counts of possession of an assault weapon, possession of a machine gun, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence and resisting/obstructing a peace officer.

On Tuesday, January 21, 2020, at about 8:43 PM, Deputy Sheriffs were dispatched to a report of a person with a gun at a home on the 2400 block of O’Toole Way in the Tara Hills neighborhood in unincorporated Contra Costa. At the time Parrish apparently brandished a weapon and possibly fired some shots. There were no injuries.

Deputy Sheriffs attempted to make contact with Parrish but were not able to. At about 11:30 PM, the Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team and negotiators responded to the location. Negotiators continued trying to make contact with him. The SWAT Team on Wednesday morning entered the heavily fortified home and detained Parrish. He was later taken to the hospital and arrested on Thursday, January 23, 2020.

Parrish is currently in custody at the Martinez Detention Facility. He is being held in lieu of $353,000 bail.

Anyone with any information on this case is asked to contact the Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600. Tips could be emailed to: [email protected] or call (866) 846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

Nice Uzi! Those criminals are really abiding by all those strict California gun laws, aren’t they? I bet even more laws will certainly make these folks listen /s. The only time I ever felt safe in Richmond was when I was doing underground at Perez School during its remodel years ago. I was down in a trench out of the line of fire. The carpenters on the roof would call out where the gunfire was coming from; multiple locations.
