BURLINGTON, Wash. (AP) — A Sauk-Suiattle tribal police officer pleaded not guilty a harassment charge after he allegedly got into an altercation outside a Burlington bar and threatened people with a loaded handgun. Leventine James Hall was charged with one count of harassment with threats to kill after the March 23 incident. Hall had been drinking when he tried to break up an altercation between two men. Hall, who was reportedly intoxicated, was pushed to the ground, got up, walked to a vehicle and pulled out a loaded handgun. He’s accused of making threats toward the two men. Hall’s lawyer says he intends to show self-defense was involved.
