PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- The State Highway Patrol says a man working as a security guard at a state office entered a workers' compensation bureau meeting and pointed a gun at participants before leaving.

Sixty-three-year-old Robert Montgomery of Beaver was arraigned at Portsmouth Municipal Court on Thursday on one count of misdemeanor inducing panic.

He was released from the Scioto County Jail after posting a $1,000 bond following his Wednesday arrest.

The Highway Patrol says Montgomery is a guard at the Ohio Industrial Commission office in Portsmouth. He's accused of entering the meeting at the office Wednesday afternoon and leaving after a short exchange of words. No one was hurt.

A lawyer was not listed in Montgomery's court record, and a phone listing for him could not be found.
