Man arrested after allegedly pointing gun at officers

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A man accused of pointing a gun at police officers in Springfield, Missouri, is now in custody. Springfield police say Talon Williams was arrested Monday afternoon after a manhunt that lasted several hours. A news release said officers saw a spray-painted Chevrolet van at a convenience store just after 2 a.m. Monday and realized the driver was Williams, who had a warrant for a parole violation. As officers tried to speak with Williams, he allegedly pointed a gun at officers, who responded by firing into the van. Williams was apparently not struck by a bullet and drove away. The van was later found abandoned. Williams was arrested around 4 p.m. Monday.
