A man was arrested after pulling a gun on two people, including a woman he then assaulted, in Woodbridge, according to PWC Police.

WOODBRIDGE, VA—A man was arrested Friday after pulling a gun on two people, including a woman he then assaulted, in the 2400 block of Lacrosse Court, according to Prince William County Police. Ricky Bernard Tomlin, 47, of the 5100 block of Charles Ewell Lane in Woodbridge, was charged with brandishing a firearm and domestic assault and battery.

Shortly before 7:15 p.m., police began investigating the reported incident that occurred earlier that night. A 51-year-old man said he was involved in an argument at his home with Lane, and acquaintance, that escalated. He then whipped out a gun and threatened the man and a 48-year-old woman.

At some point, Lane pushed the woman—a family member—before fleeing with her in a vehicle. Police obtained warrants for Lane and arrested him at his home later that night without incident.
