A 75-year-old Kerrville woman was taken into custody early Saturday morning after an hours-long armed standoff that followed a domestic assault, according to the Kerrville Police Department.

Jenny Sprott was arrested shortly after midnight following a standoff that began when KPD officers responded at 11:29 p.m. Friday to a residence in the 1600 block of Quinlan Creek Road on a report of a domestic disturbance involving violence.

The victim, who called dispatchers from the scene, told police Sprott was armed with a rifle and had threatened to shoot herself and any law enforcement officers who responded.
