This all stems from an incident in March 2015 when his wife called 911 to report a domestic incident.

During the call, the dispatcher heard shots fired and alerted the sheriff's office.

Branch was arrested after a short standoff.

His wife was not seriously hurt.

In September, Branch was found not guilty of attempted murder.
