SMYRNA, Del. (AP) - A Delaware woman is accused of pointing a loaded gun at a former tenant who was returning his key.
News outlets cite a Delaware State Police release that says police responding to a trespass complaint Wednesday afternoon arrested 44-year-old Melanie Ballard.
The 44-year-old former tenant told police he had come to the home to turn in his keys, but Ballard pulled out a gun when a disagreement ensued. He said he feared for his life.
Police recovered a Glock 22 .40 caliber handgun at the scene.
Ballard is charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and aggravated menacing. She was released on $25,000 bail.
