The victim said she wrestled the rifle away from him but got knocked to the ground several times. The woman advised that she checked the weapon, and it was not loaded.

They ended up leaving the rifle behind but believed the man had other firearms as well.

The suspect, identified as Tyrell Twete, was charged with a felony count of 4th degree assault, two counts of menacing, unlawful use of a weapon, and second-degree criminal mischief. He was detained on $10,000 ba
