Man Arrested At NJC With BB Gun
***Press Release***
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On February 6, 2014, at approximately 10:27 PM, Sterling Police Officers arrived on scene at Herboldsheimer Hall on the Northeastern Junior College Campus in reference to a report of a male in the building with a gun, or possibly a BB gun.
Upon arrival, officers immediately obtained all the information available in order to quickly locate the suspect. Officers began a search for the suspect and an order to “lock down” the campus was administered. During the systematic search by Officers, to include dorm rooms, additional information was obtained as to a more specific location of the suspect.
At approximately 10:41 PM, officers located the suspect in a dorm room. The suspect was identified as John Solomon, 19 years of age of Sterling.
Mr. Solomon did have in his possession a BB gun modeled to look like a real handgun and was taken into custody without incident.
The investigation determined Mr. Solomon is not a student and has no association with NJC. He was also not known to those whose dorm room he was located in. Additional security sweeps of all the dorm buildings were conducted out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of all students and staff. The investigation indicated there were no other suspects or any additional threats and the “lock down” order was lifted. No students or any other individual was harmed during the incident.
Mr. Solomon is being held at the Logan County Jail on No Bond pending advisement for the following charges:
- 18-3-206(1)(a)-Felony Menacing-Class 5 Felony
