Deputies safely resolve armed confrontation
On Tuesday, June 23, at about 06:55 a.m., deputies from the Big Bear Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to the 1100 block of E. Country Club Boulevard in Big Bear City, in reference to an unwanted subject. When deputies arrived, they learned that the victim’s ex-boyfriend, Kody Barr, 29 of Big Bear, forced his way into the home, assaulted the female victim and had an argument with the male homeowner. Barr left the residence before deputies arrived.
While deputies were conducting their investigation, Barr returned to the residence in his vehicle and approached deputies. Barr told the deputies to shoot him and retrieved a loaded firearm from his vehicle. Barr pointed the gun at his head and threatened to shoot himself.
After approximately 30 minutes, deputies negotiated a peaceful resolution, resulting in Barr putting the firearm down and being taken into custody without incident. The gun was recovered at the scene and was determined to be a stolen firearm. Barr was arrested for inflicting injury on a spouse, vandalism and possession of a stolen firearm. He was transported to the West Valley Detention Center for booking.
