DUQUESNE (KDKA) – A man is in custody after a domestic dispute led to a standoff in Duquesne Tuesday night.
According to police, officers were called to a home on Hillview Street for a report of a domestic dispute around 6:45 p.m.
When officers arrived, they observed the female victim standing on the porch roof and yelling for help.
Police said Micah Smith, 20, attacked the woman and pushed her out of the second story window and onto the roof. The victim said he broke in and used a fire extinguisher on her, grabbed her by the hair, and put her in a wrestling hold known as the "rear naked choke" until she allegedly lost consciousness.
Police determined Smith was barricaded inside the home. They established a perimeter and began speaking with him.
As they prepared to make entry into the home, Smith surrendered.
