MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - Police arrested a man who was allegedly spotted with a rifle after he became upset that children had allegedly hit his door in Manchester, New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers responding to a report of someone carrying a rifle and threatening people at 21 West River Drive around 1:30 p.m. learned that a man and a woman were leaving their apartment when they encountered another man at the front entrance holding a rifle at a “low ready position,” according to Manchester police.
He allegedly complained that the couple’s children had hit his door.
Police set up a perimeter around the building due to the uncertainty of the situation and saw the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Tyler Jones, leaving the complex and getting into a vehicle, police said.
Officers conducted a traffic stop and Jones was placed under arrest without incident.
He is slated to be arraigned in Hillsborough Superior Court — North Thursday on two counts of criminal threatening.
