During a fight in Milford Saturday night, a man under the influence of intoxicants racked a shotgun round and pointed the weapon at another person, police said Tuesday.
Milford police responded to the area of Park Avenue and North Washington Street around 11 p.m. Saturday on reports of a fight. An officer saw an altercation there and heard yelling from the crowd there that someone had a gun, police said.
Police said they learned the fight was verbal but one of the men went to a car and got a shotgun, racked the slide and pointed it at the other man. They struggled until the shotgun was released from his hands, police said.
Two men were taken into custody.
Police said the man with the gun was 32-year-old Milton resident Charles Larsen, Jr. Police said they released the other man involved when they learned more details.
Larsen was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, two counts of aggravated menacing and possession of a firearm while under the influence.
Bail was set at $20,000 and was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution. His preliminary hearing with the Kent County Court of Common Pleas is Friday.
