Armed Rock Springs Man Arrested After Stand Off

On June 22nd, the Sheriff’s Office Tactical Response Team arrested 31 year old Christopher Bowman of Rock Springs after an armed standoff. According to Sweetwater County Sheriff Detective Dick Blust, Jr., Bowman's wife, Lavina, reported that her husband had been drinking at their home all day and threatening suicide. Mrs. Bowman told Deputy Sheriff Brad Wallendorff that she had removed several weapons from the house, but had left a .22 rifle in the bedroom.






At that point, Mrs. Bowman called 911. Blust says the Sheriff’s Office Tactical Response Team was activated and carried out a tactical entry into the Bowman residence at about 4:40 PM.






Bowman has been charged with Reckless Endangering and Interference with a Peace Officer.  On Monday, Judge Dan Forgey set his bond at $10,000, cash or surety. The investigation into the incident is continuing.
