Columbus police arrested a man early Sunday on accusations he pointed a gun at a woman and pulled out part of her hair weave when she spurned his advances, reports state.
Cherish Van Howard, 51, is charged with disorderly conduct, police said.
According to reports, Howard made unwanted advances toward a woman at his Moline Avenue home. When she spurned his advances, he pointed a silver .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol in her face.
