A Hopkinsville man is facing a wanton endangerment charge after he allegedly pointed a gun at someone on South Abbey Way in Hopkinsville Tuesday.
According to the report from Hopkinsville police, officers responded to the 500 block for reports of a disturbance and upon arrival, made contact with both the victim and 50-year-old Eric Dear of Hopkinsville.
Dear told officers that the male victim had trespassed onto his property and spit on his front door—the victim contends that he was looking to sell pest control services and Dear had become agitated. Dear reportedly followed him to the roadway and then pointed a firearm at him.
Video footage from the scene reportedly shows Dear and the victim separating after a confrontation, which is when Dear can be seen aiming a gun at the victim.
Dear was taken into custody and charged with first-degree wanton endangerment.
