Officers surrounded the home after he refused to come out. Using a key, officers were able to get into the house, but they found that the man had gotten out through the back door.
Police later found the suspect, 87-year-old David Wolff, sitting naked in the woods behind the house. The weapon police believe Wolff used to attack his wife was also recovered in the area.
Wolff has been taken to the hospital to be evaluated. Ultimately, police say they expect Wolff to be arrested and booked at Sacramento County Jail.
