Man Accused Of Pointing Gun At Pregnant Smoker


BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- A Washington state man has been arrested on allegations that he pointed a handgun at a pregnant woman because she was smoking a cigarette.


Bellingham police spokesman Mark Young says 24-year-old Justin Dain Palmer reportedly stopped his pickup truck Wednesday to shout at a smoker on a sidewalk, "Who the heck smokes when they're pregnant?" The woman replied, "I do."


Police stopped Palmer a short time later. Young says Palmer acknowledged confronting the woman but denied pulling a gun. Police say they found two semiautomatic .45-caliber handguns in his pickup's center console.


Young says Palmer was arrested for investigation of pointing a gun.
