SAN JOSE — A newly surfaced home-security video shows in vivid detail the moment when a man arguing with his landlord got into his pickup truck and rammed a fence, injuring the landlord and touching off a lengthy police standoff last week.

In the video, provided to this news organization by a neighbor of the victim, the white pickup truck allegedly driven by suspect Stephen Maciel can be seen maneuvering to enter a driveway on South Willard Street in West San Jose around 12:20 p.m. Friday.

Once in the driveway, the truck stops momentarily, then suddenly accelerates into and destroys a wooden fence. San Jose police Lt. Mike Sullivan said the victim was on the other side of the fence when the collision occurred, and that he was knocked back and suffered “a severe leg injury.”

At some point during the encounter, shots were fired, which summoned police officers to the scene. Sullivan has said that the source of the gunfire remains under investigation.

Police said Maciel was the victim’s tenant for about a week, and that they were in a monetary dispute prior to the collision.

Maciel reportedly sped away, and resurfaced about four miles south on Marsha Way, on the outskirts of Willow Glen. He was shirtless, covered in blood, and showing a hand wound, telling residents of that street that he had been shot.

Police said residents helped Maciel bandage his wound and called 911, and police dispatchers realized that he was the same person being sought in the truck ramming that had been reported about 20 minutes earlier.

The pickup truck was easily distinguishable because it was carrying a motorcycle in the back. It also had been reported stolen, and had loose shell casings inside and bullet holes on the outside, police said.

With the knowledge that the man on Marsha Way was a possible suspect, officers went there and Maciel ran off upon seeing them, Sullivan said. Maciel reportedly went into the garage of a nearby house and then went inside, holing up for what would become a nine-hour standoff.

San Jose police, joined by SWAT officers because the initial gunfire report led them to believe he might be armed, spent hours trying to make contact with the suspect and coax him into surrendering. Flash-bang grenades and other distraction devices did not flush him out, and around 10 p.m. Friday, officers entered the home to conduct a room-by-room “slow search,” Sullivan said.

Officers found Maciel asleep in a bedroom, sources say. He had apparently drank one of the homeowner’s beers, but otherwise had caused no damage, and was arrested without a struggle.

Maciel was booked into the Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, driving a stolen vehicle, and obstructing or delaying police officers, and was wanted on an arrest warrant for fraud-related crimes, according to police. But Tuesday, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office told this news organization it declined to file charges against the 26-year-old San Jose resident, and returned the case to San Jose police for “further investigation.”
