Deputies escorted Friend to safety, took Koester into custody and found the revolver at the winery. Koester told deputies that Friend had harassed and terrorized her. Friend, who in July said he was stranded at the winery, is also a defendant in the civil suit. In the suit, property owners allege Koester and others occupying a house at the winery haven't paid rent since at least August. Koester paid $1,000 to be released from the Lancaster County Jail in July.
