A 52-year-old man armed with a long gun was charged Thursday after a domestic assault incident where he tried to flee deputies, authorities said.

Steven Miller is charged with firing a weapon inside or at a building, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and domestic violence. He was arraigned in 42-2 New Baltimore District Court and was given a $5,000 bond, prosecutors said.

Macomb County Sheriff's deputies were called at 2:50 p.m. to a residence on 29 Mile near Bates for a welfare check. The caller told police she believed the man in the home was suicidal.

Deputies arrived at the scene and found the woman who called outside. As she walked towards deputies, Miller opened the front door holding a long gun, officials said.

The woman made it safely to deputies and told them Miller had fired the weapon inside the home and grabbed her. She was not injured, deputies said.

Miller then exited his home with the long gun, and deputies set up a perimeter and tried to communicate with him. Michigan State Police arrived on the scene to assist.

Deputies said Miller refused to follow deputies' verbal commands and pointed the weapon in their direction. He also attempted to leave the property with the gun on a side-by-side off-road vehicle.

A Macomb County Sheriff's K-9 was deployed and Miller was taken into custody by several deputies and troopers.

He was treated for minor injuries and taken to the Macomb County Jail, where he was lodged on assault charges.

Miller's next hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 17.
