A Middleton man is suspected of pulling a gun on another man during an argument over a traffic incident, according to a release from Middleton police.

Officers were called at 6:38 p.m. Saturday to the intersection of Donna Drive and Park Street by someone who reported a fight between two men, one of whom was carrying a gun.

Investigators said a 54-year-old man was walking his dog in the crosswalk on Donna Drive when he was almost struck by a vehicle driven by a woman. The woman’s boyfriend, Andrew B. Bilek, 22, got out of the vehicle and confronted the pedestrian, getting into a physical fight and pointing a gun at him, according to the release.

The pedestrian was able to get the gun and asked a passerby to call police.

Bilek was arrested on suspicion of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, reckless use of a weapon while under the influence of an intoxicant and disorderly conduct while armed.
