Teen Making Gun Threat Leads to Drug Bust: Cops

MANCHESTER, NH — A New Hampshire man was arrested last night and put on a probation hold after an alleged gun threat in the Queen City, according to police.

Cops were sent to Merrimack Street last night for a gun threat report where a teen alleged that King had “showed up at his door with a gun in his hand” and then “fled in a silver Nissan Maxima,” Sgt. Richard Brown of the Manchester Police Department noted in a press statement.

An officer left the Merrimack Street investigation and headed to Ash Street just before King reportedly arrived home. King got out of his car, according to the officer, and was told to stop but allegedly fled into his home. King was later arrested inside, according to the police report.

“While in custody, officers found a baggie of Xanax pills on King,” Brown alleged. “A later search of King’s apartment resulted in the seizure of a 9mm Hi-Point semi-automatic handgun, 3.55 ounces of marijuana and 0.941 ounces of cocaine.”

King was arrested, processed, and put on a probation hold. He’s due in court on Dec. 12.

According to a report on Bedford NH Patch, King was arrested in April 2015 on a receiving stolen property charge after allegedly stealing a BMX bike in Manchester. He also was arrested earlier this year for domestic violence-simple assault according to spotcrime.com.
