A woman held at home against her will decided to make a break for the car keys after her boyfriend shot a crossbow at her, the arrow barely missing her head, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office reported Friday.

Her car burst out of the garage through the garage door, her boyfriend stabbing at the driver’s window with a knife. A responding Douglas County deputy subdued him with a Taser.

The incident occurred Wednesday at a west Omaha home. The man, Ryan C. Lamp, now faces a raft of felony charges in the case. He is being held without bail at the Douglas County Jail.

Lamp and his girlfriend lived together near 114th Street and Military Road, just outside city limits. On Wednesday morning, they got into an argument, in which Lamp was the aggressor, said Lt. Mark Gentile of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

Lamp, 38, held the woman inside the home until late in the afternoon. He raped her and threatened to blow up the house with explosives, Gentile said.

One of the woman’s sons, age 16, lived with them. In the afternoon he returned home and was met at the door by Lamp, armed with a knife. Lamp threatened his life and told him bad things would happen if he called authorities, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
