Feb. 11—A Spokane man set his girlfriend’s Hayden home on fire and tried to shoot her because she tried to kick him out after learning of his criminal past, according to court documents.
Kenneth Thomas Wilson, 59, is charged with arson, aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
A SWAT team responded to 821 W. Dee Court on Sunday after a caller reported a man had shot her sister, according to court documents.
When police arrived, they heard gunshots and saw smoke coming from the house, according to court documents.
根据法庭文件，两名妇女已经从家里逃出了911。
She told police she had been dating Wilson for a few months when she learned of his violent past.
Wilson was sentenced to five years in prison in 2017 for assaulting his girlfriend with a hammer, according to court records and news reports in the Olympian.
新女友最近得知他的信念，并为她的安全而担心。她告诉警方，女友呆在朋友的房子里，然后第二天回到她的住所，发现威尔逊走了。那天晚上，女友没有呆在家里，而是在周日上午11点和朋友一起回来。
目击者告诉警方，看来威尔逊不在屋子里。
The girlfriend went upstairs to use the restroom and then heard Wilson outside the bathroom, she told police. It was later discovered he had been hiding in a closet when the group returned to the home, according to court documents.
Wilson raised a pistol toward one of her friends in the hallway so the girlfriend sprayed him with bear spray, according to court documents.
He then fired a shot, witnesses told police.
女友和她的朋友们躲藏起来，最终能够逃脱该住所。
Officers discovered that Wilson had started a fire in the basement of the home, according to court documents. Fire crews extinguished the fire, which had spread from the basement to the attic.
Wilson remains in the Kootenai County Jail.
