The victim's sister intervened after hearing screams, prompting Westbrook to flee the scene. Westbrook later claimed to police that the incident was a misunderstanding related to a planned BDSM scene, which the victim denied agreeing to. Westbrook has been charged with felony third-degree burglary and aggravated assault with a simulated deadly weapon, among other charges. A preliminary hearing is set for Monday.
