A Howardwick man is facing charges after breaking into an AirBnB and threating guests with a hammer early Monday.
Jeramy Kindle, age 42, is charged with Burglary of a Habitation with intent to commit Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said.
The sheriff said Kindle broke into the AirBnB located on Ten Bears Trail in Howardwick and came at a Jacksboro couple staying there with a hammer. One of the guests began recording video with her cellphone, and the other grabbed a rifle and held Kindle at bay until authorities could arrive, Blackburn said.
As the deputy arrived, the subject fled on foot. Sheriff Blackburn arrived on the scene, and the lawmen soon found the man in a nearby residence. He was taken into custody and booked into the Donley County Jail.
Kindle was arraigned Tuesday by Justice of the Peace Pat White with on charges of Burglary of a Habitation and Aggravated Assault with total bond set at $40,000.
He was still in jail at press time.
