Officers responded to an alarming report of a gun threat after a man flagged down a New Boston Police Officer on Gallia Street to report someone driving a blue truck pulled a gun on him on Vinton Avenue.
The man did not want to file a report but did want to make officers aware the man had pulled a gun and chased him for some time. However, while officers were talking to the alleged victim, they discovered he had an open warrant for failure to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court. They took him into custody.
