A 31-year-old Tyonek man was arrested Friday for brandishing a rifle at village residents and threatening to shoot them, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Troopers responded to a 911 call at 4:24 p.m. Friday from the village of about 150 people, 40 air miles south of Anchorage on the west side of Cook Inlet.
An investigation showed village resident Gregg McCord had been "consuming alcoholic beverages and was highly intoxicated," troopers wrote in an online dispatch.
"McCord pointed a shotgun at multiple individuals and then turned the gun toward himself," troopers wrote. "One of the bystanders was able to gain control of the firearm and secure it."
No one was injured during the incident. McCord was arrested, and faces weapons misconduct and reckless endangerment charges.
