Investigators told FOX 5 some sort of dispute took place inside and that's when the woman dialed 911. The man refused to open the door when officers arrived, according to police.
SWAT members moved in to surround the building in tactical gear as police blocked off the roadway around the Inn. Police said it's unclear if the man is armed, but he is communicating with authorities.
