SANTA CRUZ — A 46-year-old man accused of holding police at bay during a more than five-hour standoff at Main Beach Monday is set to face criminal charges this week.
Santa Cruz officers were called to the water around 1 p.m. after police received numerous public complaints that the man, later identified as Jason Monroe of Lodi, was standing in the water while screaming, cursing and throwing rocks at nearby adults and children, said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Jon Bush.
