SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A man is under arrest after police say he threatened his children with a gun in Sioux Falls.
Law officers responded late Saturday to a report of an intoxicated man who had allegedly threatened his children with a firearm in a northeast Sioux Falls neighborhood. Authorities believed the man was still inside the home with several children, so surrounding roads were shut down and a perimeter was established.
But authorities learned the man had left in a vehicle before officers arrived. He was eventually located and arrested in Minnehaha County without incident.
The children were all located. One had minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The man is being held on suspicion of assault and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
