University Police on the UW-Green Bay campus received a call early last night reporting a confrontation had taken place involving a man with a gun on the Arboretum Trail, a wooded area near East Circle Drive.
The unknown male subject confronted two people about walking their dog within the arboretum, which is prohibited. During the interaction, the man produced a handgun before leaving the scene.
A followup of the initial call determined the male subject did not threaten the two individuals or point the gun at them, but rather showed it after the dog growled at him. It’s possible this was a defensive reaction.
The armed subject was described as a white male in his 50’s, with slightly longer hair, and of average size, wearing a grey sweater and jeans.
Residents are asked if they’ve seen or know who this person is, to please contact University Police at 920-465-2300, extension-2.
