LAKE ANDES -- A Lake Andes man was arrested Oct. 27 for allegedly pointing a gun at two people's heads.
Wayne Caple, 47, faces two counts of aggravated assault, a Class 3 felony punishable upon conviction by up to 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
At about 4 a.m. on Oct. 27, officers with the Charles Mix County Sheriff's Office and the Wagner and Yankton Sioux police departments responded to 309 N. Sixth Ave. in Lake Andes, where a man with a gun had been reported, according to court documents. There, a woman told law enforcement the gun was inside the residence but the man had walked away.
Caple was seen getting into a vehicle and was ordered out at gunpoint and handcuffed. The homeowner reportedly said he had hidden the firearm inside the residence, but was unable to find it.
A man and woman both said a man had pointed the gun at their heads, and a witness reportedly identified Caple. No one was reported to have been injured in the incident.
