A Humboldt man faces several charges stemming from a early Saturday morning complaint by patrons of T-Baby's Bar and Grill in Humboldt. 
 
As of Monday, Mark R. Yeager, 50, had posted $25,000 bond.  He faces two counts of aggravated assault, driving under the influence, violation of the implied consent law and possession of a handgun while under the influence.
 
According to Humboldt police, officers were called to T-Baby's around 2:30 a.m. because a man was threatening people with a gun.  Officers arrived after the suspect left.  However, a short time later police pulled over a driver in a vehicle matching the description given by witnesses at the bar.  Those officers said the man behind the wheel was driving erratically at the time.  Officers reported finding a loaded pistol in the vehicle.
 
Yeager is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in Humboldt General Session Court at 9:00 a.m., February 17.
