Man fires gun outside Millington Walmart, police say
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was arrested early Sunday morning after police say he fired a gun outside a Walmart in Millington.
Brian Williamson, 49, was charged with reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, possession of a handgun while intoxicated and public intoxication.
Witnesses told Millington Police that they saw a man fire a single shot in the air near the grocery entrance. One witness said the suspect was also yelling and stumbling and put a black revolver in a jacket pocket.
When officers arrived at the store, they said Williamson was standing near the grocery doors and appeared unsteady on his feet.
They said Williamson tried to walk away and refused commands to stop and take his hands out of his pockets. Police said they were able to take Williamson into custody and found a loaded handgun in the pocket of his jacket.
The incident was one of two shots-fired calls outside area stores over the weekend.
