Two men and a woman pushing a baby stroller on a Centralia sidewalk were confronted by a man with a gun last night, according to Centralia police.
Officers called just before 8 p.m. were told the man started arguing with the trio at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Main Street, pulled out a Glock 40, pointed it at them and then ran into a nearby house.
There was no indication of a robbery or anyone injured.
The three told police they did not know the individual or why he confronted them, Officer John Panco said this morning.
Officers knocked on the door to the home where there was a woman and a half dozen males who were asked to come outside, Panco said.
The victims, all in their 20s except for the 1-year-old child, identified one of them as the man who had stopped them on the street, according to Panco.
A search of the home turned up the suspect gun in a bedroom, Panco said. It was found to be stolen, he said.
Nicholas L. Gonzalez, 21, of Chehalis, was subsequently arrested for four counts of first-degree assault, possession of a stolen firearm and felon in possession of a firearm, Panco said. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail.
