A man is facing assault charges after he allegedly pushed his girlfriend into a Christmas tree and then pointed what-she-thought-was a gun at her.
Robert Fair, 37, was arrested Monday night and booked into the Butler County Prison, but has reportedly since been released.
Butler City Police officers were first dispatched to a home in the 300 block of Miller Avenue around 7 p.m. Monday after his girlfriend reported “Fair pointed a pistol at her and her friend, and taunted her with a large knife.”
Police say they tried “numerous times” to get Fair to come to the door. He was eventually taken into custody when he exited the apartment.
The knife and gun, which was found to be a BB gun, were recovered at the scene, according to city police.
No one was reportedly injured.
