On Wednesday, Dayton Police Sergeant Roberta Bailey said a 40-year-old man kicked in the door of the home of a woman known to him.
The man reportedly shoved one of the residents down, but those inside were able to run away from the home.
The man then barricaded himself inside the home, prompting members of SWAT and the Hostage Negotiation Team to be called to the scene.
During the standoff, police said the man threatened to kill officers.
Crews on the scene were able to use non-lethal chemical munitions to get the man into custody, according to Bailey.
Police added that the man had previously been convicted of aggravated assault connected to an assault at the same address in 2024. He also has a no-contact order related to a previous case.
While police did not identify the suspect, Dayton Municipal Court records show that 40-year-old Jeremy Salyer was charged with one count of trespass in a habitation connected to the incident.
Salyer remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail on a $100,000 bond and is due back in court next week.
Detectives from the Dayton Police Department’s Family Justice Center continue to investigate the incident.
