Buckeye police have arrested a man for pulling a gun on another driver.
According to the Buckeye Police Department, around 1 p.m. on Tuesday, a woman reported she was in a parking lot near Watson Rd and Sundance Ave when the suspect, driving a Jeep Gladiator, began backing out of a spot, almost hitting her vehicle. After she honked her horn, the victim reported, the suspect got out of the Jeep, grabbed an AR-15 style rifle from his back seat and pointed it at her. The victim drove away and called 911.
