A Georgia police officer has been criminally charged after investigators say he pulled a gun on three people while responding to a call about an assault, officials said Tuesday.

Kenneth Bishop, a 60-year-old man from Swainsboro, Georgia, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault and terroristic threats and acts.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that the Soperton Police Department asked it to investigate Bishop’s actions in the July 26 incident.
