Man Arrested After Firing 41 Shots at Butler County Deputies

In Butler County, Ohio, a man named Brandon Wilson engaged in a standoff with law enforcement after being reported as intoxicated, suicidal, and armed with multiple firearms at his residence. Wilson threatened to 'suicide by cop' and to 'take out' deputies, eventually firing approximately 41 shots from a rifle, some directed through a window and hitting a sheriff’s office vehicle.

Wilson faces charges including felonious assault, vandalism, inducing panic, and using weapons while intoxicated. No injuries were reported, and the investigation remains ongoing.
