Bristol Man Charged With Allegedly Holding Gun To Girlfriend's Head: Sheriff's Department

Sheriff's Deputies arrested Adam W. Howard on Wednesday for an incident where he allegedly held a gun to his girlfriend's head, according to a department press release.

On Jan. 13, 2017, Kendall County Sheriff’s deputies investigated an alleged domestic battery on the 9000 block of Corneils Road in Bristol. A woman claimed that Howard, her boyfriend, held a gun to her head during an altercation.

Deputies arrested Howard, 30, of Bristol, without incident when he was in court on unrelated charges. According to Kendall County Court Records, Howard had a court date on Tuesday for charges of domestic battery from March 2015.

Howard was charged with unlawful possession of firearm ammunition by a felon, domestic battery and aggravated assault. He is being held at the Kendall County Jail until his next court date.

A charge is merely an accusation of a crime, not a finding of guilt.
