SPRING CREEK — An argument at a bar over the weekend escalated when one man got a gun and allegedly began aiming it at people.

Derek Benson, 26, of Spring Creek was involved in a verbal dispute at The Watering Hole on Saturday, Undersheriff Clair Morris said. Benson went outside, where the argument escalated. He went to get a gun from his car and pointed it at about three or four people, Morris said.

Deputies were called to the scene and arrested Benson. No one was injured.

“Guns and alcohol don’t mix,” Morris said. “If you’re gonna go out partying, leave your guns at home and hopefully have a designated driver.”

Benson was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a gun under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and aiming a gun at a person. His bail was listed at $23,500.
