Man arrested for gun threats

A man from Seattle was arrested early today for threatening his uncle with a gun.

The two men were staying at the Sugarloaf Lodge. According to the victim, they were drinking at the bar when he noticed his nephew, 48 year old David Storms, was becoming very intoxicated. The uncle tried to get Storms to go back to their room and he refused. The uncle left, but returned to the bar a short time later and again urged Storms to return to the room.

He said as they approached the door to the room, Storms became belligerent and began yelling. He then pulled out a handgun and put it to the victim’s head. He described the weapon as a .22 caliber “blued metal” handgun with wooden grips.

When Deputies Shannon Jones and Jenna Mueller arrived on scene at midnight, they heard yelling from the east side of the property, then spotted Storms walking toward them. They detained him. He was unarmed, but a .22 caliber handgun with wooden grips was found in the grassy area where he was located when the deputies arrived.

Storms was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and with improper exhibition of a firearm. He was booked into jail.
