WARREN - A 59-year-old Warren man being held at the county jail refused to attend his video arraignment Tuesday to answer charges that he pointed a loaded rifle at a man just after 5 p.m. Monday outside of Franklin Pharmacy, according to police and court records.
Alvin McMillian, 715 Webb Court S.W. in Warren, was stopped behind the Pit Stop, 1708 Youngstown Road, after 19-year-old Macio Jenkins called police, the report states. Jenkins told officers a man matching McMillian's description approached him holding the rifle as he finished changing a tire on a van in the pharmacy's parking lot, 1732 Youngstown Road S.E., the officer wrote in the report.
Jenkins, police stated, ran across Woodbine Avenue when he saw a man pull the gun out of a black bag and point it in his direction.
When police found McMillian, the report states, he had a black bag in his possession containing a .22 semi-automatic rifle with two rounds.
The police officer said the pharmacy has two video surveillance tapes that he watched, which show the incident.
McMillian's arraignment has been rescheduled for today. He is charged with felony carrying concealed weapons, having weapons under disability, aggravated menacing and possessing drug paraphernalia.
