She told police she was at her home sleeping and was woken up by a man who “busted out” of her bedroom closet with a large canine and held her at gunpoint. Police found Mr. Butler at the house looking for the woman, whom he described as his girlfriend. There was no evidence of any firearms, police said. The woman, who told police she recently spent time at Newport Hospital for psychological reasons, was transported back to the hospital for a mental health evaluation.
