Man arrested after “ruckus raising”

Barrow County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Rosewood Circle in response to domestic dispute involving an armed man.

Upon arrival, deputies found William Landon Wilder, 31, of 542 Rosewood Circle, Winder, sitting outside his house.

After being frisked for weapons, Wilder walked away from the deputies and lay down on the driveway. According to police reports, Wilder appeared to be intoxicated.

The victim, Whisper Wilder, told deputies she was taking a shower when she heard Wilder arrive home “yelling and cussing.” Ms. Wilder said she did not think anything of it at the time because she knew Wilder was drunk.

When Ms. Wilder stepped out of the shower, Wilder pointed a Glock 22 at her head and threatened to kill her and their children.

Ms. Wilder wrestled the gun away from Wilder, but he then grabbed a knife and threw it at a window. Ms. Wilder said she then grabbed Wilder and threw him out of the house.

Witnesses at the scene corroborated Ms. Wilder’s account of the incident. One of the witnesses described Wilder as drunk and “raising all kinds of ruckus.”

Wilder was arrested and charged with pointing a gun at another and terroristic threats and acts.
