FINNEY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect in connection with a violent incident involving a handgun.
Just after 3p.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to the 600 block of Labrador Boulevard in Garden City for a battery-in-progress, according to a media release.
The investigation revealed that an argument ensued between 25-year-old Abdiweli Aden of Garden City, and several family members.
The family members reported Aden was being disorderly and made threats toward them. Before Officers arrived, Aden retrieved a handgun and ran to a family member’s vehicle, and the family member followed Aden. Aden allegedly pointed the handgun at the family member and directed them to drive away or he would shoot them.
Officers located the vehicle in the 2900 block of Belmont Drive with Aden and the family member inside. Aden was still in possession of the handgun and was uncooperative with Officers.
After a short time, Aden surrendered to police and was taken into custody without further incident. The family member’s 2-year-old child was also inside the vehicle during the incident.
Aden is being held in the Finney County Jail on requested charges of Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Child Endangerment, Criminal Threat and Domestic Battery.
