A Lake County man is accused of brandishing a firearm that led to a brief armed stand-off with law enforcement last month.

Gage Alexander Caye, 22, entered a plea of not guilty in district court in Polson July 24 to felony charges of assault with a weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted person, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. 

According to court records, on July 8 a woman contacted law enforcement to report Caye was at her residence on Bluebird Lane east of Ronan when Caye got into an argument with her and threatened to kill her with a shotgun. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded and immediately took one male into custody.
