On June 6th at 10:41 PM, Amarillo Police officers were called to a residence in the 1100 block of South Western Street on a Domestic Violence incident. The caller, a 43-year-old female, told officers that the suspect, 36-year-old Trey Allen Widner, had assaulted her. The victim told officers that two children were still in the residence and that Widner had access to firearms and had threatened to have a shootout with police officers.
