On 02-12-2025, at approximately 1:25 PM, Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and Officers from the Ukiah Police Department conducted a warrant service at a residence located in the 700 block of Village Circle in Ukiah, California.  

Law enforcement personnel were attempting to contact Brandon Langenderfer, who had a felony warrant for his arrest for violent felony charges of 245(a)(1) PC [assault with a deadly weapon] and 422 PC [criminal threats]. 

During the warrant service, Langenderfer evaded law enforcement personnel within the structure for several hours.  Due to Langenderfer’s violent history and lack of compliance with law enforcement’s announcements to exit peacefully, additional resources were requested to assist with his apprehension. 

Operators of the Mendocino County Regional SWAT Team responded to the scene.  Residents in the area were evacuated for their safety.  Langenderfer was later located in a concealed location within the structure and in possession of a loaded firearm.  Langenderfer is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. 

When Langenderfer was located in the structure, he complied with law enforcement personnel and was arrested without further incident for his felony warrant and felony charges of 29800(a)(1) PC [Felon in possession of firearm], 30305(a)(1) PC – [Felon in possession of ammunition], and a misdemeanor charge of 148(a)(1) PC [resist, delay, obstruct law enforcement].
