A Johnstown man was jailed after police said he pulled a gun on three men in Richland Township.
The three were driving on Scalp Avenue on Thursday when another man pulled up in a black Mazda pickup and pointed a semiautomatic pistol at them, township police said in a court document.
Police identified the pickup driver as Bryan Karl Rager, 25, of Franklin Street. A .357-caliber handgun was found when he was stopped on Ferndale Avenue, officers said. Rager said the other men were driving in a manner that upset him.
Rager was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.
He was arraigned by District Judge Mary Ann Zanghi of Vinco and sent to the Cambria County Prison after failing to post $50,000 bond.
