Woman accused of pulling gun
A Murfreesboro, Tenn., woman remained in the Hamilton County Jail on aggravated assault charges Friday after she was accused of pulling a gun on her husband’s ex-wife inside a bank, records show.
Chattanooga police responded to a robbery call at Capital Mark Bank & Trust, 801 Broad St., just before 1 p.m. Thursday, according to an affidavit of complaint. Zoya Zakwan, 42, asked if the ex-wife, who worked at the bank, was there and then pulled a handgun, the affidavit said.
The ex-wife was in the bank’s offices. When she saw Zakwan, she closed and locked the offices’ door, keeping Zakwan inside the lobby, according to the affidavit.
Zakwan pointed the gun at the glass but after it failed to fire, she fled, the report said. She was found by a bike patrol officer walking north in the 800 block of Broad Street. Police found the handgun on the sidewalk nearby.
Zakwan was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. She was held on a $102,000 bond pending an Aug. 23 appearance before General Sessions Court Judge Ronald Durby.
