El Centro officers respond to man pointing rifle in the air

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The El Centro Police Department says a man was detained for a short time for pointing a "rifle" in the air.

On June 3, at about 7:46 a.m., officers were called to Olive Road, where they saw a parked car with a man and woman inside.

Officers told the man to drop the rifle who was then detained alongside the woman in the car.

The rifle was found to be a pellet-gun and the man said he wanted to "sight it in," according to ECPD.

Nothing else of note was found while searching the car.

Officers were given the pellet-gun and the two were admonished.
