OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Police in north Mississippi say a Tennessee man has been arrested for firing a gun outside a theater on April 27, setting off a panic.
Oxford Police say 22-year-old Desmond Bowen of Memphis was arrested Tuesday by his probation officer.
Police are charging him with aggravated assault and being a felon in possession of a gun.
Bowen is currently jailed in Memphis pending extradition. Oxford police say bail will be set once he arrives in Mississippi.
The man is accused of firing a gun during a fight outside the Lyric theater during a concert. The downtown was crowded because of the city’s Double Decker festival.
Police say community tips aided a wide-ranging investigation that led to Bowen’s arrest.
