ERDA, Utah — A SWAT team was called out to a home in Tooele County where a suspect in a domestic violence incident had barricaded himself inside.

Tooele City Police said they responded to the initial incident over the weekend. On Monday morning the victim called police to say she believed the suspect was at her house. She was not there at the time.
