More than a dozen police cars with flashing lights descended on the eastside Safeway Store in Bend Thursday night. Officers were called when it appeared two intoxicated men were arguing by the recycling area there. When an officer arrived, the men were in a car and wouldn't get out. The officer held them at gunpoint while backup arrived. The scene around 6 p.m. Thursday was quite a scene for people leaving the grocery store and those driving by on NE 27th Street. Three people were arrested and taken to the Deschutes County Jail on probation violations and drug charges.
