Deputy Wade Long and Adam Denton stopped a truck after they were told the man in the truck pulled up his shirt and showed another man a gun in a threatening manner. The man who said he saw the gun said his son's mother came over to bring him his car and drop off his son for a visit when his son's mother's boyfriend pulled up in a truck to pick the woman up. The man said the truck's driver looked at him funny and then lifted his shirt to reveal the gun before the couple drove away. When deputies caught up with the truck, they instructed the people inside the vehicle to place their hands out of the window and cautiously approached the car.
