The woman reported a physical disturbance with her boyfriend, Tyler Hodge. The woman told officers she believed Hodge had left. Hodge's vehicle was at the home, so the officers began checking the home and property. The two officers found Hodge seated in a detached shed in the backyard, armed with a rifle.
