Man arrested for pointing gun at coworker

 

 

A 27-year-old construction worker from Memphis, Tennessee threatened to shoot a coworker with a gun Wednesday during a dispute.

 

Christopher Robin Murrell was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

 

The Sheriff’s Office responded near Mile Marker 77.5 at approximately 5:37 a.m. A dispute arose among workers after Murrell refused to move traffic cones.

 

Murrell told the coworker not to mess with him or he would retrieve his handgun. Murrell walked to his truck while another worker approached him and asked if he made threats about a gun. Murrell then displayed the gun in his lap. He then pointed the gun at the worker and stated several times he was a killer. Murrell then drove away.

 

He was stopped shortly thereafter. The gun was recovered.

 

Murrell was also charged with driving an unregistered vehicle.
