SWAT Standoff in Poway 

June 30, 2024 – San Diego County Sheriff’s Department officials report that a man is in custody following a six-hour SWAT standoff in Poway.

It happened in the 13000 block of York Avenue on Saturday, June 29. A man called 9-1-1 around 1:30 p.m. to report his roommate attacked him with a box cutter. The roommate had abrasions during the altercation with the suspect.

Deputies with the Poway Sheriff's Station arrived on scene and contacted the suspect to de-escalate the situation. They kept talking to the man to convince him to come out of the house and surrender peacefully, but he refused.

Our helicopter unit ASTREA monitored the situation overhead as additional resources from the Sheriff's Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), the Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) and Deputy K-9 Handlers arrived on scene.

Just after 8:00 p.m., the suspect was arrested without incident.

Travis Bradley Miller (32) will be booked at San Diego Central Jail on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and violating the conditions of his probation.
