Greg Beule, 21, was arraigned Friday and is due back in court July 20 after police took three guns from him Thursday.

Beule is accused of threatening a family member with a shotgun in the 4000 block of Rush Boulevard and was placed in the Mahoning County jail on a charge of domestic violence that was later amended to aggravated menacing.

Police were called about 1 p.m. to Rush for a report of a man waving a gun around and firing it in the air. When they arrived, they found Beule and his mother on the porch of a South Side home. Beule did not have a gun on him when police arrived.

A Beule family member said he threatened her with a shotgun and pointed it at her, and a witness said they saw Beule carrying a shotgun around.

Beule’s father gave police the shotgun, along with an M1 carbine and a .22-caliber rifle for safekeeping after his son was arrested, reports said.
