Last night at 8:45 p.m., Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to reports of gunfire from a home on Lois Lane in Prescott. Dispatchers received calls from two different neighbors stating they each heard multiple shots and a female screaming “get away from me.”
While deputies were responding to the call, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) dispatchers received an additional report of a family fight at the same location. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found the suspect’s girlfriend and daughter, and led them to safety.
YCSO Deputies confirmed that the suspect, Jason Bueter 48-years-old from Prescott, fired 4-5 gunshots while in the downstairs of the home. Deputies learned Bueter was still inside the home and secured the area in attempts to get the suspect to surrender.
The YCSO SWAT team was called and arrived, supported by the Prescott Valley Police Department SWAT team. YCSO negotiators continued their attempts to get the suspect to surrender, and after several hours the suspect was taken into custody. Bueter was involved in a similar incident in 2022, at his residence, where YCSO SWAT had to be deployed.
Bueter was booked into the Campe Verde Jail, charged with disorderly conduct, recklessly discharging a firearm at a structure, possession of a deadly weapon while being a prohibited possessor, and aggravated domestic violence.
