Hollis Man Arrested On Gun Charge In Merrimack

MERRIMACK, NH — A local man was arrested earlier this month for allegedly providing false information during the process of attempting to purchase a firearm, according to police. Angel Alamo, 27, of West Hollis Street in Hollis, was arrested on July 1, 2017, on an unsworn falsification charge. Back in June, according to Sgt. Kenneth MacLeod of the Merrimack Police Department, Alamo allegedly attempted to purchase a firearm from a local gun dealer and during that process, “provided false information on the application to purchase the firearm.”
