Howard Bailey was renting a storage unit-based workshop on Road L.4-Southeast near Moses Lake.

Deputies say the landlord initially attempted to evict Bailey Tuesday morning, which led to a confrontation. When the landlord returned later to complete the eviction, Bailey allegedly pulled a handgun and threatened to shoot him.

Deputies recovered the handgun, which may have been stolen.

Bailey was booked into the Grant County Jail on investigation of first-degree assault and felony harassment: threats to kill.
