Police said a witness tells them this incident began outside a home on North Boardman Street, when a woman tried to lock herself in a car. But a man, the suspect, was able to get into the car, drag the woman out, and then take her and children into the home.
Police said the incident began after 5:30 Saturday evening. Police said responding officers could not make contact with the people involved but did hear yelling coming from inside. They said the noise quieted when police announced their presence.
Officers had information that the suspect, a 35-year-old Fond du Lac man had a violent history and frequently carried a gun. Police called in a SWATteam to assist.
SWAT made entry shortly after 8:15 Saturday night. They then took the suspect into custody. He will be held in the Fond du Lac county jail on criminal charges.
Also inside the home were a woman and three children under ten years old. Police did not specifically said if or how the children are related to the adults.
Police said they took the woman, the victim of the alleged assault, and three children, out of the home for medical attention. They are not believed to be injured at this time.
