LONG BEACH -- A 38-year-old Long Beach man was arrested by officers
following up on an investigation into an armed man making threats at a
local business, police said Monday.
Long Beach Police Department patrol officers working at about 11 p.m. in the 1900 block of West 19th Street on Friday noticed a vehicle and man matching the description of a suspect who brandished a gun in a local business the day before, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The suspect didn't take anything from the store, but brandished the weapon and made threats, she said.
After stopping the man Saturday officers were able to confirm he was the suspect and arrested him. They also found a gun in the vehicle, Pratt said.
The suspect, whose name was not released Monday, was booked on suspicion of criminal threats, carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, exhibiting a firearm and carrying a firearm in a public place.
