According to a news release, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office was called to a home in Boone County, where a woman said 29-year-old Kyle Wilson had assaulted and strangled her.

The victim also told deputies that Wilson was possibly armed.

Officials reportedly noticed injuries consistent with assault and strangulation on the victim.
Wilson remained in the house, where he was allegedly uncooperative for several hours.

Officials said the victim and her children, who were present inside the home during the assault, were able to leave the home.

The sheriff’s office said deputies spent several hours negotiating with Wilson, but he remained uncooperative.

A SWAT team was activated, but negotiations continued after SWAT’s arrival.
