The mother of the suspect who was arrested in an hours-long standoff after allegedly stealing a delivery truck says her son was a former UPS worker and has a history of mental health issues. Video shows him crawling out from under the truck and surrendering.
Thursday, April 23, 2026 7:31PMAn apparent former UPS worker who allegedly stole a delivery truck is in custody after a standoff in Fremont overnight Thursday, police say.
Fremont Police say they responded to a UPS truck driving erratically in the area of Grimmer Blvd and Auto Mall Parkway after 1:30 a.m. It was confirmed that the truck had been stolen, and officers chased the suspect. Police say the suspect barricaded himself in the vehicle for several hours after it was disabled.
Video shows the suspect coming out from the back of the truck and crawling on the ground, surrendering to police around 5:40 a.m. The mother of the suspect tells ABC7 Eyewitness News her son was a former UPS worker and has a history of mental health issues. She says he was trying to reach her before the incident Thursday morning.
"We don't know where the person stole the stole ups truck from. No weapon was fired," Fremont Police Sgt. Cooper Mauldin said. It's unclear what was in the truck because police hadn't searched it yet.
