On June 28, 2023, at approximately 3:50 PM Emporia Police Department officers were dispatched to the west central part of Emporia for a report of a domestic violence call. Within a few minutes of officers arriving on the scene, the officers were confronted by a man with a machete. The Officers were able to get all other people out of the house and the officers exited the house as well. The suspect was identified as Dwayne L. Ford, male, 55 years old. Det. Shireman was called to the scene to negotiate with D. Ford. During the negotiation D. Ford left the residence, still armed with the machete. Officers deployed a 40 mm rubber blunt impact projectile, striking D. Ford in the leg. D. Ford retreated back into the residence. Negotiations continued between Det. Shireman and D. Ford. The negotiations were successful and D. Ford surrendered. D. Ford was taken into custody at approximately 6:50 PM. D. Ford will be treated for any possible injuries sustained from the impact projectile. Once he is cleared medically he will be transported to the Lyon County Jail. The Emporia Police Department will propose the charges of battery and aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer to the Lyon County Attorney’s Office for their review. D. Ford also had an outstanding warrant for bond revocation through the Lyon County District Court.
