Soldier Cade Bakke drunkenly assaults wife during altercation over gun

24-year-old Soldier Cade Alec Bakke had a domestic dispute with his wife, Alyssa Gillespie, at their Airport Road apartment on June 28th. Gillespie told responding officers that she and Bakke had argued earlier. She stated she was upstairs in her bedroom while Bakke was drinking alcohol. Then, Bakke entered the bedroom, retrieved his pistol from the bookshelf, and returned downstairs. Gillespie stated this was when she followed him and told him he did not need to be messing around with a gun while he was drinking. Gillespie added that he was walking around the living room, pointing the gun to the ground before putting it in a backpack, which she took from him. Bakke pushed her into the corner of the living room when she did this. Gillespie then pushed him back, and he reached around her, grabbing the backpack. Gillespie stated this put her in fear of bodily harm due to the argument escalating. Bakke was then taken into custody for domestic assault on June 29th.
