Man Who Allegedly Threatened Livermore Police With Gun Arrested

LIVERMORE, CA — A Livermore man was arrested Friday night after threatening officers during an armed confrontation, police said. Officers were sent to a home in the 1500 block of College Avenue to investigate a family disturbance after the suspect’s mother told police that her son was going to get a gun and point it at police officers.

Officers who responded to the home tried to talk to the suspect, later identified as 56-year-old Alan Huntting, but he retreated to his trailer after allegedly threatening to get a gun. Police said Huntting fired several rounds before going into the backyard.

"Huntting refused to comply with commands and was confrontational with officers," police said in a statement.

Huntting allegedly threatened to harm the officers and resisted arrest. He was arrested on suspicion of discharging a firearm and threatening and resisting a police officer. Huntting was booked into the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin. No one was injured during the incident.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Livermore Police Department at 925-371-4777.
