Norman police officers pulled their guns and handcuffed a man who says he did nothing wrong.

Someone called 911 and said he pulled a gun on them in a road rage incident.

Police say they're now going to look into the caller to see if they broke the law by falsely reporting a crime.

Bodycam video shows officers pulling up to a gas station and point their guns at Steven Bomar.

Bomar looks confused, but stays calm as officers put him in handcuffs.

Police had received a call about a road rage incident, claiming Bomar pulled a gun on the callers.

“It’s a black guy, and he’s in a newer red Chevy Suburban and it has rims on it," said the caller.

Bomar told police he was the one being antagonized.

“They rolled their window down, called me a n*****," Bomar told police in the video. “I didn’t say anything to them, do anything to them."

Police did not find any guns after searching the car.

The department says how they responded is typical when they think someone could have a gun.

"We’ll have guns out sometimes when we think weapons are involved, so that’s pretty typical for the way we would respond," said Major Jamie Shattuck with the Norman Police Department.

Bodycam video picks up the officers talking about the caller, saying they left the scene and stopped answering the phone.

Police say falsely reporting a crime can put everyone involved in danger.

“There’s repercussions for false reporting of a crime, so that’s something that we’re definitely going to take a look at this week to see if there’s anything we can do on that side of the call," Shattuck said.

Bomar was detained for about 15 minutes before police let him go and apologized.

In a telephone interview, Bomar said he's not really mad at the police, mostly the people who called 911 on him.

In Oklahoma, falsely reporting a crime is a misdemeanor with up to a $500 fine or a year in jail.
