Election Triggers Alleged Gun Pointing

(La Porte, IN) - An argument in La Porte, allegedly involving a gun, might have something to do with Tuesday’s election. 

 

Daniel Santolino is charged with level 5 felony intimidation.  About 5:30 p.m. on Election Day, police were called to the 1200 block of Jackson Street.  According to court documents, the investigation indicates Santolino was on his porch when he asked a neighbor who he voted for. 

 

Santolino allegedly then uttered racial slurs and pointed a gun at the neighbor’s head.  He denied pointing the gun at the man, police said.

 

Santolino could face anywhere from a one to six year sentence.  For whom the victim may have voted for was not revealed.
