The officers were serving a felony arrest warrant on Barron-Gomez. That warrant was issued on Nov. 23, just a day after he failed to appear in court.

The interim complaint from the court shows that Barron-Gomez was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The document says he went to visit his children in August at the apartment of his former girlfriend of eight years. When he arrived he found a man holding his daughter. The report says Barron-Gomez got upset. The man left the apartment and Barron-Gomez followed. There was a confrontation and Barron-Gomez hit the man in the back with a baseball bat. The man suffered minor injuries and fended off Barron-Gomez by displaying a gun.

The interim complaint also shows that Wilfert was the reporting officer and arresting officer in that incident.
