A recently-released California prison inmate barricaded himself inside a Tustin home on Wednesday in a standoff with police. The suspect was arrested last month for making terrorist threats with a weapon, but is out on bail, KABC-TV in Los Angeles reported.
When a tow truck driver arrived overnight to repossess the suspect's car, he became upset, ramming a U-Haul truck into the driver's vehicle. He then ran inside, threatening to burn his house down.
Police officers have evacuated the area and set up a perimeter with a SWAT team on the scene. They are trying to talk him out of his house without incident.
