A Bay of Plenty man has denied allegations that he pointed a pistol out the window of a car at another man on the Tauranga Eastern Link and drug supply and possession charges.
A police spokeswoman earlier said the alleged firearm incident happened about 4.30pm yesterday.
She said about 7pm, officers spotted the alleged suspect's car on Fifteenth Ave and stopped the vehicle near Bell Rd in Judea, and a 40-year-old man was taken into custody.
The police spokeswoman also said the firearm allegedly used was also found.
The defendant pleaded not guilty four charges when he appeared in Tauranga District Court today.
