A suspected car thief who was barricaded inside his family home in Chino early Wednesday surrendered after a standoff with SWAT officers.
The incident began in Ontario when officers decided the man was a possible drunk driver just after 2 a.m, and when they checked the vehicle's plates they were listed as stolen, Ontario Police Department said.
Robert Perea refused to stop, and drove all the way back to the house on D Street and then ran inside the residence. He did not take any hostages, and his family left the home. They cooperated with officers and identified the suspect.
SWAT and K-9 officers were stationed outside the house, and after police negotiated with the suspect he came out of the house peacefully at around 5:30 a.m.
Perea will be charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and felony evasion of a police officer, and also had outstanding warrants.
