A 70-year-old Carpinteria man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after allegedly threatening people with a weapon and barricading himself inside an office at the ultra-private Birnam Wood Golf Club in Montecito, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were called to the exclusive golf course on January 27 after reports of a man armed with a side-handled baton making threats on the property, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Raquel Zick said in a statement. After a brief standoff, the man exited the office, dropped the baton, and was taken into custody. A subsequent search of the suspect’s vehicle revealed what the Sheriff’s Office described as an assortment of weapons, including a loaded handgun, swords, and escrima-style fighting sticks. Birnam Wood Golf Club, a members-only private club known for its tightly controlled access and high-end amenities, declined to comment on the incident or on whether Wiedmann was a club member.
