(UPDATE, DECEMBER 12) The suspect has been charged with felony assault with a weapon, misdemeanor partner/family assault, and misdemeanor obstructing a peace officer.
Court documents state that police responded to the Sinclair convenience store after a woman entered the store and looking "scared and hiding from someone."
As a Sheriff's deputy was heading to the store, he was notified that another officer had seen a "disturbance" between the suspect and the woman in the parking lot of the store; the officer called for them to stop and approach him. The suspect walked away and went into a nearby tattoo shop, locked the door, and refused to leave.
The Sheriff's deputy talked with the woman, who said the suspect had a firearm and threatened to hurt her with it.
After the suspect was taken into custody, officers found a handgun hidden in the ceiling of the tattoo shop.
