GLADSTONE – A man was taken to OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group for a psychiatric evaluation after an incident early Friday at Pardon Incorporated in Gladstone.

Gladstone Public Safety was called about 5:30 a.m. to the business at 3510 M-35 on a report that a man inside the building had what was initially suspected to be a handgun.

However, GPS confirmed the man had a BB gun. Other reports it was a fake gun were incorrect, according to a GPS officer who spoke with the Daily Press.

GPS did confirm the BB gun was never pointed at anyone.

No arrests have been made and GPS stated there was no threat to the public. GPS was assisted by the Michigan State Police Gladstone Post.
