WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Two Kansas men have been charged after police say they stopped a car full of teens they suspected of trespassing, then held the teens at gunpoint.

Christopher Perry and Michael Morris both of Wichita have been charged with three felony counts of aggravated assault and three misdemeanor counts of criminal restraint.

The incident happened around 2 a.m. May 30, when the teens were driving in a west Wichita neighborhood. Police say Perry and Morris believed the teens had earlier jumped a fence into a back yard of one of the men. Police say the men followed the teens, used a truck to block their car, then pointed a handgun at them and demanded identification.
