BOZEMAN — A Bozeman man involved in a 12-hour standoff with police has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a weapon.
The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports 26-year-old Wesley Brockmeyer-Barnhart was scheduled to make an initial appearance in Justice Court on Wednesday.
Charging documents say the one of Brockmeyer-Barnhart’s housemates called police to report that Brockmeyer-Barnhart had fired a shot at him and his girlfriend that struck a snowbank not far from them.
Another roommate said Brockmeyer-Barnhart had argued with a third roommate over the cleanliness of the microwave at about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. Prosecutors say he used an axe to break the woman’s bedroom door and ordered her and her boyfriend to leave at gunpoint.
The caller said he and his girlfriend were outside when Brockmeyer-Barnhart fired a shot at them.
Brockmeyer-Barnhart was arrested shortly after 4:30 p.m.
