According to reports, two minors and one adult were charged with Threatening and Breach of Peace.
According to reports from the Newtown Police Department, two minors and an 18-year-old were arrested Tuesday after one allegedly brandished what police say was a realistic BB gun.
At about 5:35 p.m. on March 5, police responded to the skate park at Dickinson Park for a report of a car with three men, one of whom had allegedly waved what appeared to be a black handgun after an argument. After what police say was an intensive investigation, they identified two juveniles and 18-year-old Jacques Carter of Danbury.
Both minors were arrested. Carter was arrested later by Danbury police, who allegedly found what they say was a "BB gun handgun replica" matching the witness's description. He was held on $5,000 bond and taken to Danbury Superior Court.
