Manitowoc Man Charged After Pointing a Weapon

A 40-year-old Manitowoc man was taken into custody Monday afternoon after the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s office received a call from a complainant that the man pointed a gun at him. Michael McVey is charged with recklessly endangering safety. Sheriff’s Deputies say the caller indicated that a man pulled into his driveway in rural Manitowoc County, began swearing at him and pointed a hand gun at him. A second 911 call came in a short time later near State Highway 147 and Ridge Road stating someone was after him. Deputies located an unoccupied vehicle matching the one given by the original call.  McVey was eventually found exiting the woods, the weapon was located and he was taken into custody. McVey is free on $2,500 cash bail and his initial appearance is scheduled for next Monday afternoon at 2:30.
