A SWAT team is surrounding a Fontana house this morning as police try to talk a spousal abuse suspect into surrendering, police say.

“They just threw a phone inside to try to make contact with him,” Sgt. Jeff Decker said at 6:37 a.m.

The standoff began more than an hour ago along the 6600 block of Tokay Avenue just south of Interstate-210. The suspect was identified as Richard Douglas, age unavailable, who Decker said is named in a no-bail arrest warrant for a previous incident.

There was no word on the charge for which the warrant was issued.
