MARION – A man was recently arrested in connection with a reported disturbance at a home on Stanley Lane in Marion.

According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, around 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, June 13, the sheriff’s office responded to the home and learned from the reporting party that the suspect, later identified as Jordan J. Travelstead, was destroying a home and swinging a baseball bat at a family member.

Upon arrival, Travelstead appeared at the door holding a 12 inch ball peen hammer in his right hand which was extended above his head.

When approached by Deputies Travelstead yelled, “Get the @$)& off my property or I’m going to bash you in the head.”

Travelstead then began walking toward a room in the home where he is known from numerous previous law enforcement contacts to have firearms, machetes, and other weapons.

Deputies ordered Travelstead multiple times to stop and drop the hammer during which time he ignored instructions and continued toward the room.

A deputy deployed a taser from a distance of approximately 15 feet striking him and achieving neuromuscular incapacitation causing him to release the hammer and fall forward to the floor.

Travelstead was taken into custody without further incident and issued citations for Aggravated Assault and Resisting or Obstructing a Peace Officer. He was transported to and remanded into the custody of the Williamson County Jail.
