WAKE FOREST, N.C. (AP) — Officials say a former North Carolina deputy accused of assaulting his wife was arrested after a four-hour standoff with authorities.
The Wake County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were attempting to serve Brad Woodlief with a warrant and a restraining order Wednesday night when he threatened authorities and refused to leave his home.
The sheriff’s office says deputies believed Woodlief was armed and later, a Tactical Response Team used tear gas to end the standoff.
Woodlief’s charges include second-degree kidnapping.
It’s unclear whether Woodlief has an attorney. Authorities say Woodlief was a Wake County deputy under a previous administration.
