Armed Man Arrested After Barricading Himself in Home Believed to Belong to Director Spike Jonze
An armed suspect was arrested after barricading himself within the home believed to belong to director Spike Jonze.
Police were called to a home in Los Feliz on Tuesday at about 6 a.m. after an unidentified man entered the property, a public information officer for the Los Angeles Police Department tells PEOPLE.
The man then barricaded himself inside the home with a knife, PEOPLE confirms. NBC News 4 reported the man was confronted by someone inside of the home, although it wasn’t immediately clear if that person was Jonze.
The outlet reported the unidentified suspect locked himself inside for hours. He was later arrested and taken into custody by S.W.A.T. just before 11 a.m., PEOPLE confirms.
Police do not identify victims, but NBC News 4 footage of the home showed the director dressed in a camouflage jacket, gray sweatpants and black sandals speaking to authorities.
There were no reported injuries. A rep for Jonze, 49, could not immediately be reached for comment.
