A Maricopa police officer investigating an open garage door at a Maricopa Meadows home on Monday night discovered the homeowner pointing a gun at her.
Danny J. Pangle, of West Ranch Road, was arrested minutes later and charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, police said.
According to a probable cause statement, the officer had observed the open door just before 10:30 p.m. and went to advise the homeowner to help prevent a possible theft. As the officer approached the home, she pointed her flashlight into the garage and turned it on and then back off. Continuing to walk up the driveway, she again flashed her light into the garage, this time finding Pangle allegedly pointing a firearm at her.

In December, MUSD received $3.54 million from Arizona’s School Facilities Board to buy the Cortona property at the southwest corner of Murphy and Farrell roads near the far east edge of the district.
The SFB is also supplying more than $22 million approved by the state Legislature to help build the school.
MUSD closed escrow on the property Dec. 1, and hydrant flow tests began days later to determine design flow and pressure on the site.
Cortona is the latest in a series of land purchases and donations still in district possession that date back to the 1950s.
