An Exeter man is in jail after allegedly pointing a semi-automatic handgun at a relative. Andy Allen Breeden, 41, of Exeter, is charged with domestic assault in the third degree and unlawful use of a weapon.
On Tuesday afternoon, August 28, the Barry County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to a residence on Front Street in Exeter for a victim who feared Breeden would kill her. When officers arrived, the victim said Breeden, a relative, pointed a gun at her and said “get out or I’ll kill you,” according to the affidavits of probable cause. The gun was a Ruger SR45 .45mm semi-automatic handgun.
Officers described Breeden as acting in an angry and intoxicated manner, and that the victim feared for her life. The victim told officers, while shaking and crying, that if something was not done, Breeden would kill her.
Breeden is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $25,000 cash-only bond.
