It was revealed that Mr. Houck had allegedly pointed a handgun at the victim and ordered them to leave the trailer they were residing in. When the victim attempted to call 911, Mr. Houck physically restrained them and made further threats of violence. Eventually, Mr. Houck released the victim, allowing them to return to the trailer. However, it is alleged that Mr. Houck then fired a single round from the handgun in an unknown direction. A 9mm shell casing was found by Sergeant Boswell near the trailer. Upon concluding the investigation, Sergeant Boswell arrested Mr. Houck on charges of Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Interfering with the Making of a Report.

Due to the availability of beds and the nature of the alleged crime, the Jail Supervisor had the authority to override SB48 and lodge Mr. Houck. Thank you to the Bandon Police Department for assisting Sergeant Boswell.
