The correct age of the accused is 31.
A 31-year-old man is facing charges after threatening to kill two police officers yesterday afternoon.
Shortly after 4:00 p.m., March 3, 2020, members of the Guns and Gangs Unit were in a back alley in the 300 block of Avenue Q North when they were approached by two known gang members. One of the men aggressively confronted the officers and began making threats against them, while stating that he had a firearm in his backpack. As the officers exited their vehicle, the two men walked away, with one stopping a short distance away. He was observed reaching into his backpack and taking what is described as a "shooter stance" between parked cars. Another member of the Guns & Gang Unit responded to provide assistance and took the man into custody.
He was not found to be in possession of a firearm, and preliminary investigation shows this to be gang-related.
The 32-year-old man is facing two charges of Uttering Threats to Cause Death. (Court Info # 991123253).
