A man reported to Denton police that while he was doing some
construction work on a house in the 2700 block of Moncayo Drive on
Friday, the homeowner became angry and threatened him with what
appeared to be a gun.
The man told police that he had been hired by the homeowner to
put up some drywall in the garage. He said he broke the lower
corner of one of the sheets as he was installing it.
The man told the homeowner he could fix the damage, but the
homeowner became angry and asked him to leave, the man
reported.
The homeowner then began cursing at the man, threw all of his
tools onto his trailer and threatened him before going into the
house and returning with what appeared to be a gun, the man
reported.
The man told police he drove away and that the homeowner didn't
point the gun at him.
Officers went to the house, where the homeowner was in the
garage and appeared to be trying to work on the drywall, according
to the police report.
Officers searched the garage and found a BB gun that would
appear to be a real gun from several feet away, according to the
report.
The workman told police he didn't want to file charges but
wanted the incident on record.
