LACONIA — A local man who allegedly pointed a gun at another man's head and threatened to kill him was arrested Tuesday by Laconia police on charges of criminal threatening.

Alexander drew a handgun and pointed at the other man with several other people at the residence, “including several young children,” police said.

He was being held Tuesday night at Belknap County Jail, police said.
