TYLER, Texas — The prosecution rested Monday in the trial of a Tyler man, who allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened an employee during an argument at a Tyler Walmart in September.

Trumaine Washington, 33, has waived his right to a jury and is receiving a bench trial, which means a judge hears the evidence and makes a verdict, in the 241st District Court.

He is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Tyler police were called to the Walmart at Loop 323 and East Front Street in Tyler on Sept. 2 after receiving reports that a man was threatening to shoot people.
