MONTREAL -- Montreal police say a man has been charged after allegedly threatening four teen girls with a pellet gun for being too noisy on a Sunday afternoon.
The incident happened around 3:40 p.m. on Briand Street in the Sud-Ouest borough. Police said in a news release that the girls were "having fun" when a man approached them with the gun for being too loud.
Nobody was injured and the suspect eventually fled the scene.
A few hours later, police arrested the man and found his gun discarded in a sewer near his home.
Christian Adrien Puga Garcia, 29, is facing charges of assault with a weapon, criminal harassment, and carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The accused appeared in court Monday and his spouse is also facing possible charges of obstructing the work of police officers, the release stated.
