Armed Suspect Arrested After Making Death Threats At Business: Police

VALLEJO, CA — Police have arrested a man after he allegedly brandished a gun and made death threats to customers at a business in Vallejo, police said Sunday.

Officers responded on Wednesday to a business in the 1600 block of Lewis Brown Drive around 10 p.m. where witnesses told them that the suspect became disruptive after being asked to leave.

Before leaving, the man allegedly lifted his shirt to show a firearm tucked into his waistband and threatened those inside by saying, "If anyone touches me, everyone is going to die in here," according to the Vallejo Police Department.

The man then left the business, got into a car nearby, and allegedly pointed the gun out of the driver's side window toward other people outside, police said.

As officers responded to try and stop the suspect, he allegedly tried to drive away but then stopped before leaving the parking lot. The man, who lives in Suisun City, was then taken into custody without incident, the department said.

Police also allegedly found a loaded gun in plain view on the front passenger seat. The gun was registered to someone else living in Benicia, according to police.

The suspect, who was not named, was arrested and booked into jail. No witnesses or other involved people were injured.
