PLYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A Cape Cod man was arrested after police say he pointed a gun at customers at a Walmart over Patriots’ Day weekend.
Celso Lopes, 42, of Sandwich, is facing charges including two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, and breach of the peace while armed, according to the Plymouth Police Department.
