CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A man is behind bars after he attacked a woman while carrying a loaded gun.
Police reported that on Sunday, they were called to South McArthur Street after a woman called for help. She reported that her boyfriend, Gregory Rowland, 66, had punched her in the face and was saying he was going to shoot someone. All the while, police said, Rowland was toting around a 9mm handgun with seven rounds in the magazine.
Officers arrived on the scene and ordered the man out of the house using the loud speaker on their patrol car. Once outside, the man stumbled and was placed under arrest. Police said he admitted to hitting the woman, and said it was because he wanted to go to the store for more alcohol.
The woman was not seriously injured, and officers arrested Rowland on weapon charges, assault, and domestic violence. The gun, police said, was seized with the bullets.
