Man surrenders after over eight standoff in Farmersville, deputies say

A man who allegedly shot his wife and then disappeared last month resurfaced Sunday and barricaded himself inside his Farmersville home, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

Randy Scoggins, 43, surrendered to police after barricading himself in his house for more than eight hours, authorities said.

Scoggins was wanted on a felony warrant for the alleged attempted murder of his wife. Deputies said he shot the victim in the shoulder and ran into a nearby orchard on May 22 in the 1100 block of S. Farmersville Boulevard.

Around 7:20 a.m. on Sunday, deputies received a call that Scoggins was barricaded inside his house, Tulare County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Ashley Ritchie said in a news release.

Everyone else inside the home is believed to have gotten out safely.

No shots were fired and no one was injured but a non-lethal device has been used to take out cameras on the property.
