Cheyenne Man Accused of Threatening to Kill Person With Shotgun

A 29-year-old Cheyenne man is facing a felony charge after reportedly pointing a shotgun at a person and threatening to kill them.

Physical Disturbance With Gun Leads to Felony Arrest

According to a booking sheet, police were dispatched to a physical disturbance with a gun at 1:26 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Police say the reporting party told dispatch that a male suspect, later identified as Trevor Daniel Cabrera, pointed a shotgun at others.

Upon arrival, officers were able to obtain a description of Cabrera that matched what he was wearing from the victim, who also advised Cabrera was the only person inside the residence.

Cabrera Shot With Less Lethal Round, Tased

Officers ordered Cabrera out of the house, but they say once he exited, he wouldn't comply with their commands to surrender and tried to run back into the house, prompting them to deploy a less lethal 40mm round at him.

Officers also reportedly used a taser to gain control of Cabrera.
