A Hagerstown area woman was arrested Sunday after police said she threatened her estranged husband with a handgun before locking herself in a Waynesboro home with multiple firearms.

Waynesboro police responded to 901 Park St. at 8:42 p.m. Sunday, when Daniel Briggs reported that Sarah Briggs, who had been harassing him throughout the day with phone calls, broke into his home and refused to leave.

The two who are married, but have been separated for a while, were supposed to go out on a date the night before but plans fell through, court documents said.

Briggs allegedly told her husband that he ruined her evening the night before so she was going to ruin his evening tonight, according to court documents.

Daniel Briggs told police he received several voicemails from his wife. In one voicemail, she said that if she could not find him after she got off work, she would break into his home and when he walked into the door she was going to shoot him in the face. Briggs also told police that another voicemail said that she was going to shoot him and then shoot herself.

Briggs reportedly began receiving pictures of Sarah Briggs inside his residence with a gun in her hand. He also told police that he answered a call, argued and heard a gunshot go off.

Briggs said he told his wife that he did not believe her and she sent him a photo of the spent shell casing.

Following the call, Briggs rushed to his home where he found his wife sitting on the sofa. Courts documents say Briggs was able to take the handgun off his wife and secure another handgun in the home. He told police that there were several other firearms in the home, but he did not think Sarah Briggs knew how to load them.

When police arrived they were able to arrest Briggs and search her for weapons.

Police said Sarah Briggs told them that she had been sitting on the sofa inside of the living room and she pointed what officers identified as a Sig Saur .380 to her left and fired one shot in the sofa.

A shell casing, bullet and voicemails received by Daniel Briggs were taken into evidence by police.

Sarah Briggs is still being held at Franklin County Jail in lieu of $250,000. A preliminary hearing is set for July 28.
