Man Barricades Himself in Chino Home After Pursuit Involving Stolen Vehicle: Police

A standoff involving a man who barricaded himself inside a residence in Chino following a police pursuit ended Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The incident began in Ontario when officers tried to conduct a traffic stop on a possible DUI driver, according to Officer George Ramirez of the Ontario Police Department.
“It was later determined the vehicle was driving was stolen,” Ramirez said, adding the man had a prior warrant for a stolen vehicle.
The chase ended at the man’s Chino residence, and he became involved in a standoff with police, according to Ramirez.
It was not immediately known if the man was armed.
As of 5 a.m., police had been attempting to talk with him and resolve the incident peacefully, he said.
Barricades had been set up in the area of 5th and 6th streets and C and B streets while SWAT officers attempted to coax the man out.
He eventually surrendered to police.
The suspect — identified by police as Robert Correa — faced a number of charges, including possession of a stolen vehicle and felony evading, Ramirez had said before the standoff came to a conclusion.
