ACPD Arrest Man on Charges of Aggravated Assault

On Sunday, June 11, 2023, at approximately 5:40 p.m., Cowley County Emergency Communications received multiple calls about a subject pointing a firearm at individuals at the stop light in the 2700 block of N. Summit Street. The subject was reported as the driver of an older F150 pickup with an Oklahoma tag. 

The vehicle left the scene but was soon located by officers near Edgemont Drive and Summit Street in Arkansas City. Branon Duncan, 50, of Arkansas City, was identified as the driver and was taken into custody. During the search of Duncan's vehicle, a 9mm Smith and Wesson handgun was found.   

The two individuals that the firearm was pointed informed officers that this incident started because of a near collision and an exchange of words. The individuals identified Branon Duncan as the subject who pointed the firearm at them. Duncan was arrested for two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.

Duncan is currently being held in the Cowley County Jail in lieu of a $40,000 bond.

A court of law determines a suspect's guilt or innocence.
