Police arrested a 26-year-old Lincoln man Tuesday night for allegedly threatening a teenager with a gun in June.
Officer Erin Spilker said at about 4 a.m. June 27, a 17-year-old boy told police John Belot had shown up at his family's house in the Highlands knocking on the door and waking everyone up. An argument turned physical, with Belot threatening to kill the boy and pulling out a handgun. Spilker said the teen told police he was scared for his life.
She said Belot was gone by the time police got there, but the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force saw him and stopped him in a car at about 6 p.m. Tuesday near 17th and M streets and arrested him on suspicion of terroristic threats and use of a firearm to commit a felony.
Spilker said Belot also allegedly was found with a 9mm handgun concealed in his waistband and 54 grams of methamphetamine (with a $4,700 street value), multiple hydrochloride pills, a scale and pipes in a backpack.Â
