Threat With Gun Sends Man To Jail

(KAIR)--An Atchison man is accused of making threats while brandishing a stolen handgun, and that sends him to jail on numerous charges. 

Police Chief Mike Wilson says it happened Thursday night, leading to the arrest of 24-year-old Larry Gillum. “About midnight on Thursday night, our officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of south 3rd,” Wilson tells MSC News. “A 40-year-old female reported that she had been threatened by a subject with a gun. Police did take into custody Gillum at the scene, and we recovered a handgun that had been reported stolen in Salina, Kansas in 2014.”

Wilson says it does not appear the victim was acquainted with Gillum prior to the threat, and it remains unclear as what led up to the assault. 

Gillum was booked into the Atchison County Jail on charges including aggravated assault, criminal possession of a firearm, and possession of stolen property.
