Authorities have charged a Warren County man with domestic assault and endangering the welfare of a child, after he pointed a gun at two people in a home south of New Florence.

Robert C. Arnold, 59, New Florence, was charged April 20 for the incident. He was also charged with two counts of first-degree harassment.

Deputies were sent to a home on Skyline Drive South April 8 after a call about an intoxicated male pointing a gun, according to a Warren County Sheriff’s Department report. An investigation revealed Arnold had been drinking before getting into an argument with a woman at the residence, deputies said.

During the argument, Arnold allegedly retrieved a revolver and pointed it at the woman he was arguing with. Arnold allegedly told the woman he was going to shoot her in the head, causing her to drop to the floor, deputies said.

During the altercation, a juvenile at the residence reportedly attempted to intervene, telling Arnold to put down the gun. The juvenile laid on top of the woman to protect her, deputies said.

Investigators allege Arnold continued pointing the revolver at both people while this was happening.

When a deputy later spoke with Arnold, he allegedly stated he had the firearm while in the room with the two people, but not that he intended to use it on them, according to the sheriff’s department report. The revolver was confirmed to be loaded, deputies said.

Arnold currently has a bond hearing scheduled for May 12 in Warren County Circuit Court.
