VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach police say they arrested a man at the Oceanfront on Saturday evening after he was reportedly pointing a gun at passing vehicles.
Around 10 p.m., officers were flagged down by a person who said a man was aiming a gun at vehicles along Atlantic Avenue. A police camera operator located the man holding a gun on top of a parking garage near 9th Street.
The officers took 23-year-old Travon Avery into custody without any issue, according to a city press release. He was charged with reckless handling of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon.
Police say the gun they took from Avery was reported stolen out of Portsmouth, so he was also charged with receipt of a stolen firearm.
