A Brunswick man was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly pulling a loaded handgun on a group of people he had an altercation with Friday night.

Channing F. Perry, 33, was charged with reckless aggravated conduct just after midnight, said Brunswick Police Chief Richard Rizzo, after officers responded to Aki Japanese Cuisine on Maine Street for a report of a man threatening patrons with a gun.

A witness reported that Perry told the group, “I should shoot all of you,” while pointing the weapon at them, according to police.

When police responded to the scene, Perry had put the 9 mm handgun back in his pocket, and at no time was aggressive with officers, said Rizzo.

Perry, who was intoxicated at the time of his arrest, told police he was struck in the face during an altercation with the named victims earlier in the night inside the restaurant. He then left the establishment, but later returned, approached the group while they were outside the restaurant and brandished the gun, according to police.

Rizzo said Perry and the victims did not know each other.

Rizzo said at this time, there is no information that leads police to believe Perry is not allowed to own or possess a gun. A person is prohibited form owning or possessing a gun if they have a felony conviction or a domestic violence conviction. The chief said it is not known at this time who owns the gun, but they do not believe it was stolen. The department has possession of the weapon and will be running the serial number to get more information.

Bail was set a $2,500 cash by a bail commissioner. As of Monday afternoon, Perry was no longer held at the Cumberland County Jail.
