LIVERMORE — Police arrested a 55-year old man in south Livermore for threatening to shoot his mother following a domestic dispute, shooting the gun in front of police and resisting arrest on Friday night, according to authorities.

Alan Huntting was arrested on charges of woefully discharging a firearm in negligible manner and intentionally using threat or violence to delay, obstruct or resist a police officer, according to Sgt. Ryan Sanchez of the Livermore Police Department. He was transported to Santa Rita Jail.

No one was hurt, but Huntting had minor abrasions from resisting arrest, said Sanchez. Police officers dispatched to the scene did not fire a shot.

Huntting, who lives in a trailer outside his mother’s residence on 1500 block of College Avenue, threatened to shoot her and left the house to get his gun. Huntting’s mother called the police at 8:05 p.m., and reported her son was going to get a gun and point it at officers, according to Sanchez.

When officers were on scene, Huntting entered the trailer and fired one single shot in an unknown direction. Two minutes later, he fired multiple shots. A short time later he surrendered but resisted arrest from police officer.

“Officers took Huntting down to the ground to attempt to detain him,” Sanchez said in a news release issued Saturday morning. “While officers were detaining Huntting, he resisted arrest and made threats of violence to officers on scene.”

An eyewitness at the scene told this news organization that after Huntting was taken to the ground by police officers, he claimed that he was a disabled veteran. Sanchez could not confirm his military status.
