LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Officers were called to the Los Feliz home of director and producer Adam Spiegel, known professionally as Spike Jonze, where police say a burglar with a knife barricaded himself inside.

Once officers arrived, the burglar refused to come out, according to police. The SWAT team was then called.
