Guardsman Accused of Pointing Gun at Fellow Soldier | Portland Maine News

A National Guardsman in D.C. allegedly pulled a loaded handgun and pointed it at another Guardsman during a heated argument over hairstyles and Army rules inside a black van near a Popeyes on H Street Northeast. Witnesses say the weapon was already chambered, and though no one was injured, the incident led to an arrest warrant after Mitchell’s story shifted from claiming he was just joking to admitting he drew his pistol—though he insisted it was pointed downward. Police are investigating the serious charge of assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.
