Drunk former judge brandishes gun at unsuspecting trick-or-treaters before pointing firearm at arriving officer, police say

A 73 year old former Oklahoma judge was arrested after allegedly firing a gun towards a family of trick-or-treaters and pointing it at a responding police officer. No injuries were reported, but the incident has led one family to reconsider how they will celebrate Halloween.

Amy Sanders said her family approached Jerry Herberger’s home because its outdoor lights were on, then heard him yell for them to leave and say he had a gun. She said he fired as they moved away, and her son called 911; police say Herberger pointed the gun at an officer before being arrested without incident. He faces charges including assault and battery with a deadly weapon, attempted murder and possessing a firearm while intoxicated.
