My step dad was arrested tonight for being drunk, and pointing his handgun at someone for no appropriate reason. To make a very very long story short he was drunk and fighting with everyone. The person he pointed the gun at had done nothing wrong. The police took their statement and arrested him.
I was not there to see all this happen, I was on the phone with my older brother who was there. We were talking when it happened and I told him call 911 immediately. I'm glad they arrested him but the deputy's didn't say exactly what he was being arrested for. I assume drunk and disorderly conduct, Pointing a loaded firearm at someone, and being in possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
Hopefully they charge him with all three and take his LTCH. This happened in Owen County so we'll see how well our sheriffs dept works on this case. I know pointing the gun is a class D felony. Anyone have a clue about the degree of charge for being in possession while under the influence?
