Man Allegedly Threatens Pair With Gun: Worcester Arrest

WORCESTER, MA—A man is facing several charges after he allegedly pulled a gun on two people early Saturday morning.

On Aug. 5 around 2:20 a.m., police responded to 330 Grafton St. where an officer was flagged down by a man who said that someone had just assaulted him with a gun across the street. The suspect, which the victim had just described, appeared and police told him to put his hands up. Police frisked Tyler Jackson, 25, Norfolk St., and found two clear bags of what appeared to be crack cocaine. Police also found several 9mm ammunition rounds inside a latex glove in his front pocket, after which Jackson was arrested.

Jackson had, according to witnesses, argued with a man and woman on Grafton Street and took out his gun and pointed it both of them. Jackson is charged with two counts of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Class B Substance with Intent to Distribute, and Possession of Ammunition without an FID Card.

He will be arraigned in Worcester District Court on Monday.
