INDIANAPOLIS — A 29-year-old man has been arrested for his alleged involvement in "multiple" domestic disturbance incidents.
The IMPD Violent Crimes Unit, SWAT team and K-9 Unit arrested Montel Swanson on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 3 p.m. in the 2800 block of North Sherman Avenue on several active warrants for his alleged involvement in multiple violent domestic disturbances.
IMPD said Swanson assaulted a woman in the face and then pointed a gun at her Wednesday, Sept. 18. The next day, police say Swanson was involved in an incident where shots were fired in the direction of multiple people, ultimately hitting a home.
Swanson was arrested and charged with intimidation, domestic battery, pointing a gun at another person, interfering with reporting a crime and battery resulting in bodily injury.
"Removing a repeat domestic violence offender from our streets protects the safety and well-being of the victims and the community," IMPD Chief Chris Bailey said. "Domestic violence cases are some of the most dangerous situations our officers face, as they often involve heightened emotions and unpredictable threats."
Police said those who are in need of local services can reach out to the IMPD’s Victims Assistance at 317-327-3331 or domestic violence resources such as Indy Champions at 317-210-0866.
