At 9:11 a.m. on Saturday, Atlantic City Police Officers Christian Ivanov and Scott Sendrick responded to the 600 block of Drexel Avenue in reference to a fight between two men that led to one pointing a handgun at the other.
The officers spoke with Dennis Adkins, 59, of Atlantic City, who reported that Joe Desrosiers, 35, of Atlantic City, pointed a handgun at his head during an argument, police said.
