A 39-year-old Marstons Mills woman is facing charges stemming from an encounter involving a rubber gun and a pair of golfers at the Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds golf course in Marstons Mills on Wednesday, according to Barnstable police.
The woman was scheduled to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Friday on two counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon (firearm).
On Wednesday afternoon, at about 3:38 p.m., police responded to a report of a woman waving a pistol at two young men playing golf at the course on Route 149, according to police.
“The victims told responding officers that as they were playing their round of golf, a woman appeared from the wood line yelling at them to stay out of her yard,” police said in a statement issued Thursday.
The golfers told police that when they responded that they were not in the woman’s yard, she began waving and pointing what appeared to be a black pistol at them. After the incident was reported, police shut down part of nearby Race Lane, which bounds the southern side of the golf course, to search for the woman.
An investigation led police to the woman’s home, which they surrounded. Police said she exited the house without incident, and she was taken into custody. A subsequent search of her home turned up two rubber guns and a replica pistol magazine, police said.
After she was booked on the two charges, the woman was released on personal recognizance pending her arraignment, police reported.
