Man Allegedly Brandished Gun At Partygoers

A Cuba man was arrested after he allegedly brandished a gun at a group of partygoers Dec. 31 at the Landers Trailer Park.

Matthew Z. Jackson, 40, faces one count of unlawful possession of a firearm and one count of unlawful possession/transport/manufacture/repair or sale of an illegal weapon.

Jackson is being held on a $75,000 bond.

According to the probable cause statement, Jackson pointed a gun at a group of people “who were drinking and having a good time.” 

Jackson also had a physical altercation with another person in the group.

Jackson later told a sheriff’s deputy that a group of people kept him from accessing his vehicle.

Jackson, who left the scene before deputies could arrive, was located at his residence. 

He denied possessing any firearms, but a search warrant turned up a shotgun and ammunition in his home.
