When police arrived, they say Boone opened the front door and pointed a long-barreled shotgun at an officer who took cover until more officers arrived.
Police say Boone barricaded himself in the house and refused to come out.
He was arrested about 2 a.m. Sunday and is being held on suspicion of aggravated assault on a police officer.
It’s unclear if Boone has an attorney yet.
