RANDOLPH - A Boston police officer who lives in Randolph is accused of showing a gun to another man during a confrontation.
Leonard F. Brown, 39, was arrested Thursday. He pleaded innocent in Quincy District Court to assault with a dangerous weapon, making threats and violating an abuse prevention order.
The confrontation occurred Wednesday, but the alleged victim, another Randolph man, did not call the police until the following day. He said he feared repercussions because Brown is a police officer, according to a report by Randolph officer Geoffrey Lucas on file at Quincy District Court.
The man and Brown know each other.
The man told police that Brown yelled and used a profanity about the way the man’s family had been treating Brown.
Brown took a holstered black handgun from underneath his car seat and showed it to him asking, ‘‘Do you know who you are (explicative) with?’’ the man told police. He said Brown never pointed the gun at him.
The man’s sister told police that Brown had also indirectly threatened her.
Police contacted Brown who went to the station voluntarily. He denied making the threat. He said the man and woman were members of his former wife’s family and wanted to get him in trouble.
Brown told officers that he had a firearm issued by the Boston Police Department because he was going to work a detail, the report stated.
‘‘Brown adamantly denied threatening and/or assaulting anybody with or without the firearm,’’ the report said.
The alleged victim told police that he had been with Brown and several others in the Sudbury Farms parking lot drinking vodka, prior to the confrontation Wednesday.
Brown denied that he had been drinking.
Police went to Brown’s home with his consent and confiscated a black 40 caliber Glock handgun in a holster, a loaded magazine, a Boston police portable radio and handcuffs.
