She was wicked mad.

A Cape Cod woman was arrested after allegedly threatening young golfers with a gun — only for the weapon to turn out to be a rubber dummy.

Chrystal Lawson, 39, surrendered to police Wednesday after armed officers surrounded her Marston Mills home following frightened reports from a pair of teens golfing nearby.

The teenagers were minding their own business during a round at the Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course just before 4 p.m. when they said an erratic woman appeared from the trees and yelled at them to stay out of her yard, according to the Barnstable Police Department.

“When the golfers responded that they were not in her yard she presented what appeared to be a black pistol, waving and pointing it at them,” police said.

The golfers immediately reported the incident, prompting cops to close down the nearby road as they tried to zero in on their suspect.

Once officers identified Lawson’s property as the likely source of the threat, they closed in and she came out without incident, they said.

Inside, officers found no weapons — but did turn up two rubber guns, along with a replica of a pistol magazine.

Lawson was arrested and charged with two counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon.

She was released on personal recognizance and is due back in court Friday.
