Sheriff's officials say that after discovering evidence of domestic violence at the location, 24-year-old Tristan L. Elliott was uncooperative and aggressive when deputies tried placing him under arrest.

After reportedly refusing to follow the commands of deputies, Elliott finally complied after he was threatened with a TASER and he was safely taken into custody without further incident.

He was booked into the Grant County Jail for suspicion of third-degree malicious mischief (domestic violence), obstructing a law enforcement officer, and disorderly conduct.
