EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – A woman has been charged with intimidation with a deadly weapon after threatening her neighbors with what police say looked like a gun.

Officials say 44-year-old Crystal Newton-Henderson was arrested Saturday after pointing a gun at her neighbors.

According to the affidavit, Newton-Henderson got into an argument with her neighbor that led to the alteration.

Officers say the neighbor told them they thought it was a real gun when Newton-Henderson pointed it at them.

They say Newton-Henderson fired multiple shots in their direction, leading them to believe it might be a BB gun.

When police arrived, they say Newton-Henderson told them he had been drinking and the gun wasn’t real.

The gun was discovered to be an Orbeez toy gun.

Newton-Henderson was taken to Deaconess Midtown for jail removal before being booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail without bond.
