Suicide

APD officers and CCSD deputies arrived at around 6:30 p.m. to serve a search warrant for drugs at Randy Allen Maraccini's house. Maraccini answered the door and allegedly lunged at an officer with a knife, cutting him on the wrist. Maraccini then ran through the house and jumped out a window. Police chased Maraccini on foot for about half a mile until Maraccini walked down an embankment into a gully filled with shallow water. According to police, the officers were talking to Maraccini when he stabbed himself in the chest, pulled the knife out and dropped it. He died at a hospital.
