A spousal-abuse suspect who is barricaded in his Fontana home this morning is a parolee who is named in a parole-related arrest warrant, police say.

“I know there’s nobody else in the house with the suspect,” Sgt. Jeff Decker said about 7 a.m.

A SWAT team has surrounded the home on the 6600 block of Tokay Avenue and has tossed in a phone in hopes of speaking to Richard Douglas, whose age is not available. Authorities have set up a perimeter around the area.

“I haven’t heard whether he has picked it up yet or not,” Decker said.

Police were summoned to the scene shortly after 2 a.m. by reports of an assault on a woman at that address.

“The female was being chased up and down the street, according to the call,” Decker said.
