A Landers man was arrested Wednesday after he threatened his wife with a pellet gun. According to a Sheriff’s report, a witness reported about 4:45 p.m. that Gary Zumwalt, 61, of the 5600 block of Handley Road, was beating up his wife and threatening her with a pellet gun, and told her he was going to kill her. Zumwalt then took his wife into the house and moved a dresser in front of the door to keep her from leaving.
