MADISON, Wis. — Police officers arrested a 38-year-old man on gun charges after he reportedly threatened to use a gun during an argument near Warner Park Thursday night.
In an incident report, police said officers were called to the 2900 block of North Sherman Avenue just before 9:50 p.m. for a report of a person with a gun. Victims reportedly told police the man tried to start a fight with them and then pulled out a gun and threatened to use it.
Officers found the man at his home nearby and arrested him on tentative charges of disorderly conduct while armed and being a felon in possession of a firearm, as well as a probation and parole warrant.
A woman who was with the man at the time of the argument also reportedly made “threatening gestures and comments to the victims” but did not have a weapon. She was cited for disorderly conduct and released, police said.
Police said no one was hurt and no shots were fired.
