A Wasilla argument ends with a gun pointed at a neighbor

A neighborly dispute on a Wasilla street turned dangerous Friday when, troopers say, one man pulled a handgun and pointed it at the neighbor he'd been arguing with.

The confrontation on Big Dipper Drive started as a verbal argument and escalated until the man drew a .45-caliber Beretta and aimed it at the other man, according to Alaska State Troopers. He was arrested on a charge of third-degree assault, taken to Mat-Su Pretrial, and troopers seized the gun.

The charge is an accusation, and he's presumed innocent.
