A man who was intoxicated and armed with a gun was arrested on Madison’s east side Tuesday morning, police said.

Madison police said officers responded to a report of a man with a gun in the 700 block of Fairmont Avenue at 8:57 a.m.

According to the report, 50-year-old Kurt Kupka was upset because fighter jets were flying over his residence.

Officers spoke to Kupka, who resisted arrest, police said. He was eventually taken to the Dane County Jail on charges of endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon while under the influence, domestic disorderly conduct and resisting officers.
