Alcohol talking: Three people drinking heavily at a Mingo Junction residence got in a disagreement, Tuesday. The caller said the arguing began when the other two men “began to joke about serious matters.” He said he grabbed his backpack and was going to leave before things got physical, but one of his companions started punching him and he dropped it. He said his assailant told him to leave, and when he refused to go until he got his backpack, which contained his ID cards and wallet, he said his assailant pulled a gun out, cocked it and pointed it at him. Deputies said the man’s face was swollen and his nose and mouth were bleeding. His assailant admitted to the fight but denied getting a gun out.

The woman said when she told Jones her children needed to get ready for bed “he became irate and stated he would not leave” and told her to call police “because she would need them.” She told police he “tried to head-butt her,” but ended up grabbing her by the neck” and when she broke free, she barricaded herself and her children into an upstairs bedroom until he left.

He said the couple then started arguing with him in the roadway and eventually it got physical.
