CANTON, GA -- A Cherokee County man has been arrested and charged in connection to an incident in which he allegedly threatened to harm his wife and mother.

Robert Thomas Jordan, 44, was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault and kidnapping under the Family Violence Act, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies with the agency's Free Home Precinct responded April 12 to a domestic dispute at a home in the 500 block of Old Jones Road in southeast Cherokee County.

Old Jones Road sits off Union Hill Road near the county's border with the city of Milton.

Jordan was allegedly at the home "making threats to shoot his wife and mother," according to the sheriff's office's be-on-the-lookout alert issued Tuesday.

"Through (the) investigation, witnesses stated Robert Jordan kidnapped his wife on the previous date, struck her with a pistol, held her at gun point and fired a shot off near her head and then fled the scene on this date," the agency noted in the alert.

Lt. Jay Baker, spokesperson with the sheriff's office, said Jordan showed up at his wife's home on Quail Hollow Drive in Woodstock Wednesday afternoon. The woman called 911, and sheriff's deputies located Jordan in a shed behind the home.

Jordan was taken into custody without incident.
