A portion of Escalon-Bellota Road was shut down and a nearby preschool sent into lockdown mode when a man barricaded himself in a home on Escalon Avenue early Thursday afternoon. The man, identified as 31-year-old Eric Cummings, was subsequently arrested without incident and taken into custody on multiple charges. He is due in Manteca Court on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 17, for his first court appearance and remains in the San Joaquin County Jail on $173,000 bail.
