Bristol Man Arrested After Shelter-In-Place In Neighborhood

BRISTOL, RI — A Bristol man was arrested, following threats he made that triggered a shelter-in-place in a town neighborhood.

Police were called to Naomi Avenue around 1 p.m., Wednesday, for a report of a domestic argument. Police told WPRI 12 Richard Coelho threatened his son with a gun during the fight. Coelho then locked himself inside the home, where there were several guns, police said.

The incident caused police to issue a shelter-in-place for the Naomi Street neighborhood. Police in a Facebook post said there was no threat at Mt. Hope High School, and students were dismissed at their normal time. The shelter-in-place has since been lifted.

Details about Coelho's arrest were not made immediately available, but no injuries were reported.

Patch called Bristol police and will update this story when we know more.
