Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison reports, on 7/15/24 Chelan County Deputies responded to a late report of domestic assault in Chelan, WA.
The victim advised that on 7/14/24, the victim’s boyfriend, Judson Biggs, a 40 year old male of Chelan, WA had assaulted them. During the assault Biggs had kicked the victim down some stairs and choked them with his hands.

On 7/18/24, Biggs was located at a residence in the 100 block of Chelan Butte Rd, in Chelan, WA. Deputies obtained a search warrant for Biggs at the location. Deputies arrived and started attempts to call him out advising him that he was under arrest. Several other individuals inside the residence exited and advised deputies that there were firearms inside the residence that Biggs had access to and that Biggs had barricaded himself in a bedroom. Deputies were in phone contact with Biggs but he refused to come out.
