A father from Boston was arrested at his son’s basketball game Sunday after he allegedly pulled a gun out, sending attendees running out of the venue in a panic.
Boston law enforcement were called to The Millworks facility “for a disturbance” at around 3:00 p.m. Sunday after a man pulled a gun out during an altercation with a parent from his son’s opposing team. The suspect, Jose Mow, 34, allegedly used a handgun to threaten a 48-year-old man from New York, scaring other attendees at the game, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office wrote in a statement.
Mow was arraigned in Ayer District Court on Monday. He was charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition, improper storage of a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, disturbing a public assembly and operating a vehicle after revocation of a license, the DA’s office noted.
