UPDATE: Case dismissed against man charged with pointing gun at officer during welfare check

UPDATE: A pre-trial conference was set to take place on Sept. 28, for a case against Randy Banks for allegedly pointing a handgun at an officer.

Court documents show his case was dismissed without prejudice instead.

There is also an order of pending expungement.

ORIGINAL STORY: MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Shortly after 4 a.m. Saturday morning, officers from the Mishawaka Police Department responded to a welfare check request on Tremont Drive.

As an officer approached the house, the 50-year-old resident, Randy Banks, exited the house with a handgun. He raised it and pointed it at the officer, who was able to retreat and take cover. Banks allegedly threatened the officer before retreating back into the house.

A short time later, Banks exited the house again and sat on the front porch. He was later taken into custody without incident. He was transported to the St. Joseph County Jail, his initial charges being intimidation and pointing a firearm.
