OAKLAND CITY, Ind. (AP) - A western Indiana man faces intimidation and gun charges after threatening a homeowner and firefighters responding to an illegal burn on the homeowner's property.

Several firefighters stepped between the men and the neighbor pointed a handgun at them and the homeowner.

Police arrested the neighbor. No injuries were reported.
