Police: Now-fired trooper pointed gun at car in dispute

DENVER (AP) - Police say a now-fired Colorado state trooper charged with menacing allegedly pointed a semi-automatic rifle at two people in a car during a confrontation in Denver while he was off duty.
According to a police report released Monday, 44-year-old Wesley Dakan pulled out the gun from the rear of his car after a man got out of another stopped car and apparently confronted him in April before getting back in the other car.
Dakan appeared to get the gun ready to fire and pointed it at the other car.
The law firm representing Dakan declined to comment.
