The Clark County Sheriff’s Office says a 25-year-old man pointed a bow and arrow at deputies responding to a domestic disturbance Wednesday night.
Deputies were dispatched about 8:30 p.m. to 7312 N.E. 128th Ave. for a report that a homeowner and her daughter fled their home after an argument with a family member. The home is several blocks outside the North Image neighborhood near Heritage High School.
“The adult daughter reported to deputies that during the argument, her brother picked up a compound bow with an arrow, (and) pointed it at her while he was pulling back on the strings,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
She closed the door between them, and the woman and her mother left the house fearing they’d be harmed, deputies said.
The son, later identified as Jeremy Prevost, refused to open the door for responding deputies. He was spotted in the backyard on a patio but retreated inside when deputies entered the yard and tried to talk to him.
Deputies approached an open sliding glass door, and Prevost appeared in the opening and pointed the bow and arrow at the officers, according to the sheriff’s office.
“The bow was pulled back and held in a ready shooting position,” the press release said. “Deputies retreated toward cover and began attempts to communicate with the suspect.”
SWAT was eventually called out as Prevost was unresponsive to deputies’ demands. A search warrant was served at the address, and Prevost was taken into custody on suspicion of several counts of second-degree assault.
