(KKTV) &#8211; A man was arrested after he had threatened another person with a handgun, fired several rounds and fled the scene, according to El Paso County deputies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The man was identified as 51-year-old Garret Duffy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Deputies said they were called Saturday around 7:30 p.m. at the 8500 block of Aspenglow Lane in the Cascade area of unincorporated El Paso County.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The victim, who deputies said was known to the suspect, advised that Duffy had likely driven to a location on South Willow Street in Woodland Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Deputies responded to the area and located Duffy. When deputies attempted to make contact, Duffy exited the residence carrying a hunting rifle. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Deputies issued multiple commands for Duffy to drop the weapon. Deputies said he refused and \u201caggressively\u201d approached deputies while swinging the rifle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Duffy eventually dropped the rifle and a handgun in his possession, but continued to advance, deputies said. A physical struggle ensued between deputies and Duffy, during which Duffy attempted to disarm one of the deputies. He was taken to the ground and placed into custody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Duffy was taken to the hospital before being booked into the El Paso County Jail, deputies said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Duffy is facing charges including Menacing with a Real or Simulated Weapon, Resisting Arrest and Second-Degree Assault.
