HOLMES COUNTY, Fla. (WDNews) – A Holmes County man was arrested after a standoff with deputies and a SWAT team, according to the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said the incident began when a victim reported her boyfriend, Kolby Buie, became violent after drinking a bottle of liquor. The victim told authorities that Buie took her phone, struck her, and held an AR-15 rifle to her head while threatening to kill her. She was able to escape the home, but Buie remained inside armed with the weapon.
Law enforcement said multiple attempts were made to negotiate with Buie, but he refused to surrender. Deputies deployed CS and CN gas into the residence, and Buie surrendered within minutes. The rifle was recovered inside the home.
Buie was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, battery, resisting arrest, and depriving another of access to 911.
Sheriff John Tate praised deputies and SWAT members for their “professionalism and restraint in resolving a dangerous situation safely.”`
