Officer Foesel responded to the Red Carpet Inn for a report of a male banging on a door and threatening another tenant with a handgun.
Officers Foesel and Magley responded to the area and located the male, Mr. Becker standing in the hallway and observed what appeared to be a handgun sticking out of his pants. A brief struggle ensued, and Mr. Becker was arrested for possessing a firearm.
The firearm had a working trigger and looked authentic but had a pin installed into the chamber/barrel, not allowing ammunition to be loaded.
Mr. Becker was charged with terroristic threats, harassment, and possessing a weapon for unlawful purposes.
He was then transported to Morris County Correctional Facility pending his court date.
