A 25 year-old male faces numerous charges, including firearms charges, after an incident in the early morning hours of Monday August 1, 2022.
At approximately 12:05 a.m. on Monday, August 1, 2022, several police units were dispatched to a residence in the 900 block of McDonald Street after receiving a report of an armed male in the house. Police surrounded the house as one male exited the residence, confirming that there was a male with a gun inside. Police were able to negotiate three more people out of the house: two males and a female. Further investigation revealed one male as the suspect. It is alleged that this male threatened the other male and female, and then discharged a firearm out the door. The suspect male was on three separate firearms prohibitions. Subsequent investigation led to several charges.
