An Aiken man was arrested Thursday night and charged with brandishing a firearm and assaulting a woman at a Yarrow Way residence.
Matthew Wilken, 41, is facing charges of criminal domestic violence, pointing and presenting a firearm and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.
Wilken was placed in the Aiken County detention center where he was later released.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the call at 10:58 p.m. Deputies met with a woman who stated she was fighting with Wilken when he began to kick a trash can and throw objects around the house, according to a sheriff's report.
The woman said Wilken started pushing her out of the house, but then pulled her inside by her hair and threw her on the floor, the report read.
The victim said Wilken had his knee on her neck holding her down, according to the report.
The woman got away from Wilken and ran into a closet where she called 911.
Wilken grabbed a shotgun and began pacing in front of the closet and pointing the gun at the victim before deputies arrived, according to the report.
The victim suffered minor injuries.
