COLORADO SPRINGS - Officers arrested a man who was aggressively panhandling and had a gun pulled on him, according to Colorado Springs Police.

Police were called the Kum and Go convenience store at Fillmore and N. El Paso  at 7:30 on Thursday morning after reports of a man with a gun.

Charles Slabaugh, 52, allegedly started getting aggressive while panhandling in the parking lot.  According to police, when a customer tried to leave, Slabaugh started pounding on the customer's car windows.  Police say the victim displayed a handgun in self-defense and left the scene.

Slabaugh was arrested on Harassment and Disorderly Conduct charges, both of which are misdemeanors. 

CSPD says the victim was in legal possession of the handgun and will not face any charges.
