Salt Lake City police say a man ended a fight with his estranged girlfriend by knocking her down and pointing a handgun at her. Now, he's behind bars.
The alleged incident took place at 2:13 p.m. Tuesday as a 34-year-old woman was gathering her belongings to leave a residence at 2580 S. Park Street. The suspect pushed her to the floor and threatened her with the firearm before the woman fled outside the house and called 911.
The suspect also had left the scene when police arrived, but they found the 38-year-old man at a nearby convenience store.
He was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County jail, where he remained Wednesday on suspicion of third-degree felony aggravated assault.
