On Sunday, Hollister Police officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Primavera Drive after receiving a report that two men were fighting with one wielding a sword around 11 AM.
Upon discovering one of the suspects in the area of Maple Street and North Sall y Street, the suspect was found armed with a machete and was wearing heavy motorcycle armor clothing. When the suspect approached an officer, less-lethal bean bag rounds were deployed following use of a taser to subdue him.
The suspect had minor injuries that were treated at Hazel Hawkins Hospital and was placed on a 72-hour mental health evaluation hold.
