Spencer, Iowa (RI) — A Spencer man is facing several charges after a domestic disturbance call turned into a standoff at a home Sunday.
Upon arrival, we’re told officers determined the suspect, 21-year-old Dawson Walker, had threatened the occupants of the home with a gun and was keeping them locked inside. Officers made entry into the house and evacuated the occupants safely, along with removing the firearm.
