Man arrested after gun incident

A 31-year-old Geiger Key man was arrested early Saturday morning after pointing a handgun at a woman.

There were no injuries reported.

Maxwell David Rich was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

Deputies were called to the 200 block of Mars Lane at 3:47 a.m. regarding a man who had just pointed a handgun at a female while threatening to shoot her as well as himself.

The female, who is in a relationship with Rich, told 911 Specialists that the suspect, Rich, left the Mars Lane residence in a pickup truck. The victim later told Deputies it was unclear to her what spurred the incident, but that Rich had been drinking earlier.

Deputies found the pickup truck at the end of Boca Chica Road near the beach.

Rich was taken into custody without incident.

A .45-caliber Ruger handgun was found in the pickup truck. There was no round in the chamber, but the magazine with the gun contained bullets.

Rich was taken to jail.
