At 2:45 AM on Sunday, Casey County Deputy Jacob Atwood responded to Minors Branch Rd regarding a man threatening his wife with a firearm. He was assisted by Officer Adam Hewett, Deputy Austin Harris, Boyle County Deputy Ray Bradshaw, and KSP Trooper Lucas Justice.

Upon arrival, the wife and daughter were found at a residence at the bottom of the hill. The wife, who made the call, reported that the suspect, Peter Primioano, was covered in blood and had fallen multiple times due to alcohol intoxication.

After several attempts, officers managed to get Peter to exit the residence for medical evaluation. He fell several times while exiting and refused to go to the hospital despite his injuries. Peter then threatened to fight his son the next morning.

When Deputy Atwood attempted to arrest Peter, he resisted by tensing up and balling his fist. Officers had to forcefully cuff him. At Casey County Jail, Peter needed medical clearance but refused treatment. He resisted getting back into the cruiser, leading to a drive stun Taser deployment, which was ineffective. Eventually, he was transported back to jail without further incident.

Peter F. Primioano, 55, of Gravel Switch, was charged with Terroristic Threatening-3rd Degree and Resisting Arrest.
