A Star resident reported returning home Monday afternoon to find Jaimi Dean Charboneau hiding in her closet.
The woman (...) said Charboneau, whom she knows, threatened her with a gun. The woman said she ran out of her home, went to a neighbor’s house and called 911 at about 1:20 p.m.
A few minutes later, Charboneau, 56, of Boise, called Ada County police dispatch and said he had been held hostage by the woman at the Bambrell Street home. He told deputies he escaped from the house and drove to a parking lot at the intersection of West Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road, where he said he called police.
Deputies spoke to Charboneau at that location. He was later arrested and taken to the Ada County Jail in Boise, where he was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and burglary.
He is scheduled to appear for a video arraignment Tuesday afternoon in Ada County Magistrate Court.
Last May, Charboneau was released from prison after a judge vacated his 1985 conviction for killing of Marilyn Arbaugh, his ex-wife, in Jerome County. She was shot 16 times with a rifle. Charboneau, who was 25 at the time, said he killed Arbaugh, 36, in self-defense.
