Officers from the U.S. Marshals Service, San Diego Sheriff's Department and La Mesa Police were called out to a hotel in La Mesa on Monday after a man refused to surrender.

Authorities said the man, who was parked at the Best Western Plus in the 9500 block of Murray Drive, was spotted alone inside a "wanted vehicle" at around 10:20 a.m. and refused to comply with commands exit the vehicle.

Officers were able to persuade the man into giving himself up shortly before 12:30 p.m. and officers cleared the scene soon afterward.

"We are not releasing details on the underlying case at this time," La Mesa Police said in a news release issued on Monday afternoon.
