An 18-year-old man was arrested early Monday morning after authorities say he made a false 911 call and brandished his gun in Monroe, Michigan.
According to the Monroe Public Safety Department, police responded after a man reported that a teenager pointed a gun at him during a conversation near East Lorain Street and Michigan Avenue. They also received an anonymous tip that the gun was thrown in a dumpster.
The investigation led police to a drainage ditch where they found the 18-year-old hiding. Police uncovered a 9mm handgun with the man and the phone that was used to make the 911 call.
The man was taken into custody at about 2 a.m. on Monday and is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, brandishing a firearm and misuse of the 911 system.
Police said no one was hurt. An investigation is ongoing.
