When officers arrived, it appeared to be more of a domestic violence complaint where a male suspect had a baseball bat, a rifle and a handgun, Johns said.

Johns said the suspect had made threats and refused to come out of the house for a couple of hours. SWAT responded to the scene to assist, and the suspect eventually came out of the house.

The suspect has a “very lengthy” criminal history that includes weapons, which is what prompted SWAT to respond, according to Johns.

The suspect is now facing charges of domestic violence, aggravated menacing and weapons under a disability.
