Steven Fishel, 51, of Huntington Beach, was ultimately taken into custody about 6:45 p.m. and is expected to be booked on suspicion of vio- lating his parole, as well as an assault with a dead- ly weapon that occurred in San Diego County in September, said Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn. Two women who were holed up with Fish- el inside the hotel room at the Ramada, 2141 S. Harbor Blvd., were unharmed, he said.
