HYANNIS (CBS) -- A West Yarmouth man was arrested early Sunday morning after police say he pointed a loaded gun at a woman and security guard in a bar.

Police responded to Embargo at Main Street in Hyannis at 12:45 a.m. for a report of a bar altercation involving a gun held in a threatening manner. Officers said they found a man on the patio area arguing with security personnel.

Christopher Desimone, 44, was arrested and charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon and carrying a loaded firearm while under the influence of alcohol, among other charges.
