The neighbour accused of pointing a gun was found outside and contained while officers investigated.

They said various accounts were provided by the two men, and at one point they reportedly denied calling police.

Investigators later determined the alleged incident did not happen.

Police said there are a number of disputes between the men on file.

A 62-year-old and a 55-year-old have been charged with public mischief.

Both were released and they’re scheduled to appear in court in November.
