'I'll Shoot You If You Talk': Niagara Falls Man Accused of Threatening Woman With Gun

Niagara Falls Police responded to the 600 block of 20th Street around 12:20pm on June 16th after reports of menacing with a weapon between a woman and male probationer.

Upon arrival, officers were made aware by Niagara County Probation that the male suspect had an ankle monitor on and it was pinging to the back bedroom of the residence.

One officer was positioned at the back of the residence and stated that he could hear the suspect speaking on the phone with someone.

Officers then made contact with the suspect by banging on the window and verbally commanded for hum to come outside. He refused.

Officers then entered the residence and placed the suspect in handcuffs. The female victim told officers that at approx. 10am, the suspect began to argue with her because she was “being too loud” on the phone.

The argument continued until 12pm.

According to the victim, the suspect became so irate that he spit and slapped her in the face. She then exited the residence.

The suspect’s baby momma was also on scene.

The female victim exited the residence and entered her vehicle that was parked outside.

The suspect approached his baby momma’s car. She could clearly see a black handgun in his pocket as he walked closer.

He threatened to shoot her if the police came and she opened her mouth.

The victim, scared that he was going to kill her, exited the vehicle and walked toward him. Police arrived shortly thereafter.

The suspect was transported to police headquarters for booking and processing.

The area/residence was searched by officers with negative results for a weapon.

No further information is available at this time.
