It happened Saturday night at a home in on Waxwing Court in the Adam's Run subdivision in Simpsonville. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office says deputies responded to the home around 5:30pm for a disturbance call between a husband and wife.
They say the woman got out of the home okay, but the man refused to come out for deputies for several hours. The SWAT team responded and law enforcement was able to take Robert Keith Owens into custody around 8:30pm. No one was hurt.
Owens is charged with one count of Criminal Domestic Violence.
Owens bond was set at 5 thousand dollars on Sunday. He is no longer in the detention center.
