Crews responded to reports of a domestic violence situation on June 13, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office said the reporting party expressed concern for her safety, particularly due to the presence of firearms in the home.

“Through careful investigative work, deputies safely recovered 29 firearms, 11 homemade suppressor devices and thousands of rounds of ammunition, helping to prevent a potentially dangerous situation from escalating,” the sheriff’s office said.
