DeKALB – A man was released on $1,000 bail after police said he brandished a gun and threatened to kill a woman in his Sycamore home.

Zachary C. Wright, 22, of the 300 block of Home Street, was charged with domestic battery, aggravated assault and unlawful restraint after he was arrested at his residence by Sycamore Police on Saturday. The most serious charge he faces, unlawful restraint, is typically punishable by one to three years in prison.

Police responded to a report of a domestic battery and saw the victim walking on Home Street after midnight Saturday. The victim told police that after playing a card game with friends, she and Wright went to his bedroom, where Wright became agitated and started yelling at her, according to court records.

The victim pushed Wright away, but Wright grabbed both of her arms and threw her against the wall, according to court records. The victim said she then pushed Wright away, but he grabbed her by the arms and threw her on his bed and tried to hold her down, court records show.

Wright then went to a nearby closet, retrieved a black gun case and pulled out a semi-automatic .45-caliber ACP handgun. Court records show that he then inserted an empty magazine and told the victim that "he could have done more to her with all of the loaded guns he had in the residence." Wright then threatened to kill the victim and kill himself, court records show.

Wright told police the argument began over a phone message he received from a girl who the victim didn't like. Wright admitted to retrieving a gun case from a closet, but said he didn't pull out a gun from the case.

Wright posted $1,000 bail and was released Tuesday with a home monitoring device and orders to stay away from the victim, according to DeKalb County jail officials. He is next due in court March 26.
