Brandon Jamal Appleberry, 27, was arrested on Monday after an altercation with an employee at Southside Grocery on West 38th Street, officers said.

Marty Witt, 44, told police that the suspect confronted him with a gun in his hand. Officers said security video from the store clearly showed Appleberry arguing with several people outside while holding a gun.

The defendant told police he had run away before they had arrived, tossing the gun somewhere in the “villages” across the street.

The weapon was not located.
