Damon G. Smith

BOISE - One man is in jail after police say he threatened passersby with a BB gun at Table Rock late Wednesday night.

Police say Damon G. Smith, 37, of Boise was inside his Ford F-150 pickup truck, pulled over to the side of the street on Table Rock Road at about 11:40 p.m.  Another car drove past headed toward Table Rock when police say Smith started following the car.

When both vehicles reached Table Rock, Smith got out and started threatening the passengers of the other car.  Police say Smith appeared intoxicated, and went back to his car to get what they later determined was a BB gun or air pistol.

Officers say one of the victims pulled out his handgun and helped subdue and disarm Smith.

Police say Smith then went to his truck and tried to leave.  Officers arrived and arrested Smith, who they say refused to follow their commands.

He is charged with a felony count of aggravated assault, felony DUI and a misdemeanor charge of resisting and obstructing.
