LYNN — Four men and a 17-year-old male juvenile were arrested after a woman told police she was assaulted with a handgun on Saturday.
Police responded to 124 Central Ave. at 5:45 p.m. for an unwanted guest. The woman had the suspects at her house, and they got into an argument over money. She was accused of owing them money, Lynn Police Lt. Michael Kmiec said.
The 17-year-old male juvenile and Heriberto Felix, 19, of Lynn, each allegedly brandished a handgun, and demanded money, Kmiec said. No money was taken.
Responding officers performed an area check and the five — Felix; Steve Almonor, 24, of Peabody; Terrel Payne, 22, of Lynn; Shad Ventura, 20, of Lynn; and the 17-year-old juvenile — were later arrested in the area of Buffum Street and Blake Street, Kmiec said.
Their charges include assault with a dangerous weapon, armed assault to rob, extortion by threat of injury, witness intimidation and malicious property defacement.
Almonor also faces several drug charges. Ventura was also charged with unlawful possession of ammo without a firearm identification card.
