Troopers and deputies with the Calloway County Sheriff's Office responded to the area on Countryside Drive and met with the female caller who had left the residence. After speaking with the female it was learned that Kenneth Holt, 55 years of age, had threatened her life during the dispute. She also stated there were numerous weapons inside the residence. At that time officers attempted to contact Mr. Holt at his residence, but were unable to initiate verbal contact.
