An argument which began over alleged infidelity ended with the arrest of a 68-year-old Minden woman who allegedly threatened her boyfriend with a handgun.

Chief of Police Jared McIver said Catherine Brown, a West St. resident, is charged with domestic abuse aggravated assault following the Tuesday incident. Brown is currently being held in the parish jail. No bond has been set.

McIver said Brown reportedly came to the boyfriend’s residence where she demanded he drive her to an unknown residence and terminate the other relationship. According to a statement from the man, Brown began waving a firearm in his direction claiming, “I’m gonna blow you away.”

Rather than driving to the address, the man reportedly drove to police headquarters where Brown allegedly pointed a handgun at him and demanded to be returned to the Babb Circle residence.

Brown reportedly was taken into custody at police headquarters. A .357 caliber revolver reportedly was seized.
