TOLEDO, Ohio — A man was charged with multiple misdemeanor counts after threatening neighbors with a gun and resisting arrest at an incident in south Toledo early Saturday, according to a police report and court documents.
Toledo police responded to the 2700 block of Burwell Drive, where residents said their neighbor was pointing a gun at them and threatening to shoot them. The victims also told police the neighbor began using racial slurs against them during the incident.
Officers then attempted to make contact with the suspect, whom police described as "uncooperative", as he would not come to the door nor identify himself to police, according to the report. Police then filed warrants for the suspect, later identified as 28-year-old Cody Noel, on charges of aggravated menacing and failure to disclose information.

- Two counts of aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor
