When the first officer arrived, a witness stated that West had a gun and fired it prior to the officer's arrival.
Police said West raised the gun toward the officer, who then took cover.
Authorities said West then backed inside a fenced area. He was taken into custody when other officers arrived and surrounded the house.
No injuries were reported.
West was being held under a $3,000 bond in the Nash County jail.
