COWLEY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect after an alleged altercation involving a gun.
Just after 3p.m. Dec. 16, a 55-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman, who live together in Arkansas City came to the police department at 3:13 p.m. Wednesday to report having had a firearm pointed at them according to a media release.
Officers interviewed both victims and learned an altercation had ensued in which the suspect, later identified as 60-year-old T.J. Hollins, Jr. had emerged from a home while brandishing a firearm at the couple.
