ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A Roseburg, Ore., police officer was engaged in a brief standoff with a man who pointed an object at him and threatened to shoot.
The object in question turned out to be a cell phone.
The Roseburg News-Review reports Roseburg officer Anthony Powers confronted 47-year-old David Schattenkerk in a park Tuesday night after three women told police Schattenkerk was harassing them.
When Powers arrived, Schattenkerk hid behind a tree and threatened to shoot. He then threw the cell phone at the officer, police said, and yelled obscenities.
Schattenkerk was arrested and charged with menacing and disorderly conduct.
