(Conway, Pa.) Law enforcement officers converged on the home of David Dofner on 13th Street in Conway on yesterday morning after he was spotted by multiple people waving guns at drivers as they passed by his home.
Police obtained a search warrant for Dofner’s house and tried to make contact with him over a PA system in which he refused to come out. Eventually a neighbor was able to contact Dofner over the phone and he still refused to come out saying the only way he was coming out is if law enforcement shot him or they “shot it out.”
At one point Dofner was spotted in his doorway with a pistol in his left hand. SWAT negotiators eventually got him to come outside where he was pepper balled before being taken into custody.
Dofner faces charges of terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person.
Police seized about 30-50 weapons from the home including assault rifles, hunting rifles, shotguns and handguns. There were also more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
Police are working to see if the guns were legally his.
