A Coolville man was arrested Wednesday night after relatives said he threatened to kill them.
Athens County Sheriff Pat Kelly said deputies were called to Brimstone Road in Coolville Wednesday afternoon in response to reports of shots being fired by an intoxicated male subject.
When they arrived deputies were told by family members that their uncle, David Treadway, 43, had fired a shotgun and threatened to kill them.
Kelly said Treadway remained in the house while deputies were there and refused to respond to their commands.
The Sheriff's Special Reponse Team was called and, according to Kelly executed "a maneuver" that was able to bring Treadway out of the house without further incident.
Treadway was taken to the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail where he was charged with having weapons while intoxicated and inducing panic.
