Montgomery County, MD - A Germantown man was arrested after Montgomery County Department of Police (MCPD) officials said he threatened to kill his young son and held him at knifepoint in late July.

Dugan Gokhan, 47, was charged with first-and second-degree assault, second-degree child abuse, reckless endangerment, and resisting arrest in connection with the July 26 incident.

MCPD officials said its 5th District officers rushed to a home in the 19900 block of Stoney Point Way around 10:14 a.m. after a call about a domestic disturbance.

The caller reported to police that Gokhan was inside the home and threatening to kill his 9-year-old son.

MCPD officers said they spoke with Gohkan's family members and tried to de-escalate the situation while trying to talk to Gohkan. When police entered the home, Gohkan allegedly went into the kitchen and held a large knife to his son.

Gohkan was reportedly given multiple commands to drop the knife, but refused.

He was ultimately forced to drop the knife after a 5th District sergeant went into the home and used their taser.

The child was safely removed, and Gohkan was arrested. No injuries were reported.

Gokhan was taken to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit at the Montgomery County Detention Center and is being held without bond.
