Ex-Wife Allegedly Gives Chase with Gun

Police arrested a 46-year-old woman Wednesday on suspicion of brandishing a weapon.

A man called police Wednesday to report that his ex-wife allegedly chased him from his workplace waving a gun.

The man called 911 at 1:26 p.m. from his vehicle on the 100 block of Seafare. He reported that his ex wife Cynthia Lynn Hisel chased him from his workplace at Costco, said Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Joe Balicki.

It is unclear whether Hisel went inside the building or allegedly brandished the gun in the parking lot, Balicki said, but deputies arrested her without incident.
