An argument between a Minden man and his former girlfriend has landed a Ringgold man in the local lockup facing a gun-related charge.
Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver said 36-year-old Jeremy L. Wiggins was arrested after an investigation into the Tuesday evening incident at a Gloria St. residence. He is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and unauthorized entry of a inhabited dwelling.
Officers enroute to answer the complaint learned the suspect and the ex-girlfriend had left the residence, McIver said, but the vehicle was soon located and the pair was detained.
An investigation revealed the victim and his former girlfriend began arguing inside the Gloria St. residence, and Wiggins allegedly came inside and pulled a handgun. McIver said the two individuals were asked to leave the residence, and did so. Wiggins reportedly was placed in custody without incident.
