Police said calls came in around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday. An altercation occurred between McCombs and a woman at the home.
Police received a description of the vehicle, a Mini Cooper, and stopped the vehicle on West Jake Alexander Boulevard.
A police report said McCombs was driving. He had a gun in the car and a small bag of marijuana that weighed .01 grams.
A vehicle at the Freedom Drive location had a broken window. It’s not clear if the window was broken by a bullet or if McCombs may have punched the window. Police said he did have a cut to his hand.
He remains in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond because of the domestic nature of the incident.
