SUTHERLAND, Neb.-An Ogallala man has been arrested after he allegedly made threats with a gun at Sutherland Reservoir State Recreation Area.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said on June 3 at around 11:00 p.m., a call came into the Lincoln County 911 center reporting a man threatening subjects with a gun at the Reservoir.
Callers said the man wandered into a group of people camping and started waving a gun around while telling them to, "be quiet," and to, "shut it down for the night."
Several deputies arrived and made contact with Roy Lunkwitz, 59. A search of Lunkwitz produced a 9 mm handgun, according to authorities.
Authorities said deputies spoke to several campers who corroborated the earlier account. At least two make campers said Lunkwitz pointed the gun at them while others, including 14 children, hid in different areas.
Lunkwitz was arrested on suspicion of terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
