ORINDA – A roughly four-hour standoff at a residence in Orinda ended Friday evening with the arrest of a 41-year-old Walnut Creek man on suspicion of rape, authorities said.

The incident started about 2:10 p.m. when Walnut Creek police officers went to a home in the 200 block of Hall Drive in Orinda to interview David Justice about an alleged sexual assault in Walnut Creek.

As officers arrived, Justice drove away from the residence at a “high rate of speed,” Walnut Creek Police Lt. Tracie Reese said in a release.

Justice eventually returned to the home only to re-emerge moments later with a shotgun pointed at his head, Reese said.

The Central County SWAT Team was dispatched to the scene, as crisis negotiators established communication with Justice. After roughly four hours, the standoff ended peacefully, when Justice surrendered to police just after 6 p.m.

He was expected to be booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on a warrant for multiple counts of rape, with bail set at $5 million.

The investigation is in the early stages, Reese said, adding that no other information was available Friday night.
