[TowNews]

A 40-year-old man is expected to face criminal charges after police believe he pointed a gun at a tow truck driver repossessing a vehicle in Greeley.

 

About 1:34 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a report of the man pointing the gun at the driver in the 1800 block of 10th Avenue.

 

The driver of the vehicle that was being towed fled the scene as police arrived, according to police. The vehicle was later found unoccupied nearby.

 

The tow truck driver, a 23-year-old man, was repossessing the vehicle when the suspect, identified by police as Rasean Ector, left the home and pointed the gun at the driver, according to police.

 

Police later located Ector and developed probably cause to arrest him on suspicion of felony menacing. He was booked into the Weld County Jail on suspicion of menacing, criminal extortion and a warrant, according to online records maintained by the Weld County Sheriff’s Office.

 

As of Tuesday evening, Ector has been released from the jail. The Weld District Attorney’s Office has a deadline of 3:30 p.m. Oct. 27 to file formal charges in this case.
