REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) - Police in Delaware arrested a man accused of entering a bar and pointing a BB gun made to look like a handgun at people gathered inside, authorities confirmed Sunday.
Patrons and workers at a Rehoboth Beach bar reported late Saturday that an agitated man had grabbed an employee and pointed a gun at others inside the establishment, the city’s police department said in a statement.
An officer saw the suspect walking down the road afterward, then spotted him stashing what appeared to be a gun inside a tree, the police statement said. Officers found the weapon and determined it was a BB gun made to look like a .40-caliber handgun.
Bryan P. Meck, 28, was taken into custody and charged with three counts of felony aggravated menacing, carrying a concealed dangerous instrument, offensive touching and disorderly conduct.
It’s unclear whether he has an attorney who can comment on his behalf.
