A Detroit man remains in custody after being arrested on domestic violence charges Sunday while armed with a handgun in downtown Pittsfield.

Steven L. Duke, 22, is held in lieu of $2,500 cash bond at the Somerset County Jail in East Madison. He is charged with criminal operating under the influence, domestic violence criminal threatening and aggravated reckless conduct.

Eight police officers from Pittsfield, state police and the county sheriff’s department tracked Duke into the woods off Main Street, Pittsfield, before finding him and taking him into custody.

A woman and a child locked themselves in their home after the initial domestic violence incident and were not injured. No shots were fired, Pittsfield police Sgt. Tim Roussin said Tuesday.
