Suspect Surrenders After Hours-Long Chula Vista Standoff

Police in Chula Vista serving an arrest warrant on Montgomery Street ended up in a standoff with a suspect that lasted hours on Thursday.

Officers were serving the warrant at the suspect's mother house in the 100 block of Montgomery Street on Thursday morning, but the suspect refused to exit the residence, triggering the standoff.

The man, 24-year-old Ivan Corola, was wanted on two felony warrants for probation violations.

Officers, who had information that he had two guns inside, negotiated for him to surrender peacefully. They used flash bangs and sirens in their efforts to get him to come out.

Corola surrendered to police at about 2:30 p.m. He told police that he didn't have any weapons inside the house, officials said.

A nearby school, Otay Elementary School,was not placed in lockdown, but students are operating under a rainy day schedule and staying indoors, officials said.

All school traffic was directed to approach from Main Street and leave back toward Main Street.
