Multiple officers responded to a domestic dispute in Worthington where a man allegedly threatened to burn a woman’s house down. He refused to exit the home but after a couple of hours of negotiations, he came out, was arrested and no injuries were reported.

Michael Rogers, 26, was taken into custody Saturday night and booked into the Greene County Jail on a preliminary charge of intimidation, a Level 6 felony.

Deputy David Elmore of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, the lead investigator, said numerous officers from several agencies responded to the scene in Worthington around 6:44 p.m. Saturday.

According to a release issued Sunday evening, on Saturday evening Greene County Dispatch received a 911 call from a female in Worthington regarding a domestic dispute. The caller said Rogers had threatened to burn her house down and beat her face in. The caller also advised there were multiple firearms in the residence.

Greene County Sheriff’s Deputies Elmore and others were dispatched and Officer Skylar Scott from the Jasonville Police Department and Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor from the Bloomfield Police Department responded as well.

Deputy Elmore said multiple attempts were made by officers outside the residence to contact Rogers, who was inside, but he did not respond.

Deputy Elmore reported deputies made contact with Rogers after opening a storm door and announcing their presence. He said Rogers, from upstairs, yelled to deputies that he would harm himself with a gun if any law enforcement officers came inside the residence.

Negotiations then began with Rogers for him to exit the residence.

Deputy Elmore reported Rogers did exit the residence at approximately 8:25 p.m.

Rogers was then taken into custody and transported to jail.

No additional information has been released as of late Sunday night.
