A Madison man feared for his well-being Sunday night when he was confronted by another man inside the Red Shed who threatened to shoot him.
According to police, the victim said the man, who claimed to be from Milwaukee, said he just got out of jail and that he would shoot the victim.
"[The victim] says the suspect then used both hands as pretend guns and began ‘firing' at him," Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement.
"The victim did not know if he had any real weapons."
The bartender asked the suspect to leave and police arrived when the suspect was still in the entryway, "still raising his hands in the air while pulling nonexistent triggers," DeSpain said.
Police said the suspect tried to flee from officers, but was caught.
"He gave a fake name, yelled profanities and struggled during the arrest," DeSpain said.
