BURLINGTON, Ky. — A 29-year-old man was arrested Saturday night after an hours-long SWAT standoff in Burlington, the Boone County Sheriff's Office said in a press release.
Officers responded to a domestic violence call in the 8200 block of East Bend Road around 9:45 p.m. The sheriff's office said a woman reported that 29-year-old Kyle Wilson had assaulted and strangled her inside the home. She also said Wilson possibly had a firearm.
The woman fled with her children, who were inside the home during the assault. The sheriff's office said she had injuries consistent with an assault and strangulation.
Wilson stayed inside the home and was uncooperative while deputies spent several hours negotiating with him. Deputies obtained a search warrant, and the sheriff's office activated the SWAT team while negotiations continued.
Wilson eventually exited onto the home's porch but didn't surrender, the sheriff's office said. The SWAT team fired a "less lethal munition" at Wilson, and he was placed under arrest without further incident.
Wilson has been charged with one count of strangulation and one count of assault. He is currently being held at the Boone County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond.
