A Vancouver man was arrested early this morning after he allegedly threatened an officer while holding an assault rifle, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
An officer responded to a noise complaint at a residence in the 9000 block of Northeast 54th Street at about 1:10 a.m. and spoke with two males just outside of an open garage door, the agency spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
The officer determined the noise was not excessive and was leaving the property when a male exited the residence carrying an assault rifle, Kapp said. The man, later identified as Daniel Langu, 29, locked the slide back then forward and then verbally threatened the officer before retreating back into the residence, Kapp said.
Officers attempted to call out Langu, who eventually exited the residence and was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault related to the threats, Kapp said. No injuries were reported.
