A reserve officer with the Iredell County Sheriff's Office is facing charges after reportedly pointing a gun at a tow-truck driver who was repossessing his vehicle.
J.D. Williams - who has also run twice, unsuccessfully, for Statesville's City Council - was served with two criminal summons for misdemeanor charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment, stemming from the Oct. 1 incident, states an article in the Statesville Record & Landmark.
The gun that Williams used was not issued to him by the Iredell County Sheriff's Office, according to the Statesville Police Department, which is investigating, and the ICSO.
ICSO Maj. Marty Byers said the sheriff's office, in fact, has not issued a weapon to Williams in his capacity as a reserve officer.

Another woman accuses Iredell deputy of sexual abuse
A third woman has stepped forward, accusing Iredell County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Jenkins of sexual abuse.
The woman - who called the sheriff's office in 2009 to report a domestic dispute with her husband - later decided she did not want her husband to be arrested but wanted deputies to make him stay somewhere else for the night, according to tonight's report on WSOC-TV. The woman - referred to as "Jane Doe 2" - said "Jenkins told her the only way that could happen is if she stripped down naked while he took pictures of her to prove that she had not been physically abused."

Redmond a no-show at mediation for sexual-harassment suit; case now moves to court
It appears the sexual-harassment civil case against Iredell County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Jenkins is headed to court, after mediation yesterday proved unsuccessful.
In fact, apparently Sheriff Phil Redmond - who is named in the suit - didn't show up.
Two women - Suzanne Wick and Lisa Mangiardi - say that Jenkins sexually harassed them after they turned to the sheriff's office for help when they found themselves victims of domestic abuse.
They are suing Redmond for failure to investigate Jenkins, who is still employed by the sheriff's office.
A trial could begin as early as January 2014, said Joshua VanKampen, attorney for Wick and Mangiardi.
For more, read this from WSOC-TV.
Meanwhile, an online petition has been created in an effort to garner enough support to move Iredell County's board of commissioners to investigate the Domestic Violence Unit of Iredell County's Sheriff's Department. So far, the petition has more than 4,000 signatures, though it is unclear how many of those are specifically from Iredell County residents.
A Facebook group - "Stop Sexual Abuse of Domestic Violence Victims" - has also been formed.
