(Michigan City, IN) - Michigan City Police say it looked like a real gun but it was actually a BB gun used to threaten to shoot somebody.

 

Timothy Borman, 33, is charged with intimidation.

 

 

Just over a week ago, police said Borman went to a camper multiple times on the city’s west side and demand to speak to a woman. The man she was inside the camper with came out.

 

Police said Borman took out what looked like a handgun, racked it and threatened to shoot him.  In reponse, the man ran off and called 911.

 

At first, police said they couldn’t tell whether it was a real gun until noticing it was loaded with BB’s.

 

The Michigan City man could receive anywhere from a six month to three year sentence on the level 6 felony charge.
