York County Sheriff William King said Joseph French was taken into custody after threatening to hurt his spouse.
King said the report showed French had allegedly been drinking, which he said violated conditions of French’s release in connection with a previous domestic incident.
Deputies located French at the home and took him into custody. He was charged with domestic violence terrorizing and violating his conditions of release.
Held without bail, French was scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday afternoon at Springvale District Court by video from the jail.
