A Williamson, Ga. man was arrested Sept. 9 on firearm and menacing charges, according to the Atmore Police Department.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that Christopher Hall, 37, was arrested and charged with certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, menacing and discharging a firearm within city limits.

McMann said on Sept. 9 at approximately 8:55 p.m., APD officers responded to a business in the 1300 block of East Nashville Avenue in reference to someone brandishing a handgun.

McMann added the victims gave officers a description of the suspect who was later identified as Hall.

“The investigation revealed that Hall (allegedly) threatened the victims with a handgun, and then discharged the handgun into the air or into the ground,” McMann said. “A criminal history check revealed that Hall has a prior conviction in Georgia for violating a domestic violence protection order.”

Hall was transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
