Woman alleges Lincoln teen threatened her with a gun in traffic
Lincoln police arrested two people for allegedly following a woman in traffic Tuesday afternoon and threatening her with a gun.
Capt. Todd Kocian said a 19-year-old woman came to the downtown station just before 4:45 p.m. to report it.
She told police she had been sitting in her vehicle near 16th and Garfield streets when a white car stopped next to her and two people inside started yelling at her, believing her mother was responsible for a disturbance Monday night.
Kocian said the woman drove away but the white car and a black car followed.
While stopped at 13th and F, a passenger in the black car rolled the window down and displayed a handgun. She drove to the department to report it.

Police arrested Puente Mendez on suspicion of terroristic threats and Ironhorse for aiding and abetting.
The two occupants of the white car, a 21-year-old male was cited for disturbing the peace and a 15-year-old female referred to the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office for the same.
