Update (8:44 p.m.) - A man was taken into custody Saturday evening following a day-long standoff with authorities, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office announced.
Authorities said 21-year-old Frederick Miles Rice surrendered and was taken into custody around 6:57 p.m. Saturday.
Sheriff's officials said Rice barricaded himself inside a room of a winery event center in the 100 block of North Refugio Road and was armed with a sword. Officials said he was vandalizing property.
Officials did not say which winery. The Santa Barbara Independent previously reported it was Sunstone Winery. KSBY could not independently verify that information and multiple calls to sheriffs went unanswered Saturday evening.
Sunstone Winery is the only winery located in the 100 block of North Refugio Road.
This followed a 24-hour standoff that began Friday around 6:15 p.m. when Rice trespassed onto the winery property.
Rice was booked into Santa Barbara County Northern Branch Jail for felony vandalism and misdemeanor burglary. Bail is set at $50,000.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly said North Refugio Avenue. It's North Refugio Road.
