Sedalia Man Arrested After Threatening to Shoot Residents

On Monday evening, Deputies responded to the 14000 block of Carroll Road in La Monte in reference to a disturbance.

Reports stated an intoxicated male was threatening to shoot the residents with a shotgun. Upon arrival, Deputies spoke with the reporting party, who stated a male known to him showed up intoxicated and began threatening the residents.
