Sicklerville Man Pulled Out Gun At Comic Book Shop In South Jersey: Police

GLASSBORO, NJ — A Sicklerville man faces charges after authorities say he pulled out a gun to intimidate an unruly customer at a comic book shop Saturday in Glassboro.

It happened around 11:30 a.m. at The Comic Book Store, police said.

A customer was acting disorderly, and staff asked him to leave when he threatened physical violence, police said.

Another customer — Justin Fernandez, of Sicklerville — pulled out a gun and racked it to intimidate the disorderly patron, police said.

Fernandez's two children were present. Surveillance footage showed his 9-year-old pulling down Fernandez's arm to try to get him to put the gun away, authorities said.

All involved parties left the store before police arrived. But after further investigation, police identified Fernandez and found he didn't have a concealed-carry permit or any registered guns.

Fernandez went to the Glassboro police station on Monday to speak with detectives. He was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (both second-degree).

He was released on a summons, pending a future court date.
