An Idaho man was charged after the authorities said he allegedly threatened a group of teenagers with a handgun during a dispute over fireworks at a public park.

According to court documents, deputies responded to the park at about 11 p.m. on July 13 after receiving reports that a man had pointed a firearm at several people. The suspect had already left before the authorities arrived, but officers later found him at a nearby gas station and arrested him without incident.

Investigators said the argument reportedly began after the man accused the group of setting off a firework that struck his girlfriend. During the confrontation, the teenagers claimed the man became angry and allegedly threatened to kill them. They told the authorities he then displayed a handgun before pointing it toward the group.
