Police Arrest Man Who Allegedly Made Threats Against Officers

A 28-year-old Orange resident was arrested last night after he allegedly made threats against himself and police officers.

Police said they arrested Christopher Ingram, of 328 Fairlea Road, on the following charges:

• First-degree reckless endangerment
• Second-degree threatening
• Disorderly conduct
• Possession of an assault rifle

Ingram was arrested at 7:30 p.m. on March 25 after police executed a search warrant at his house. Orange police and members of the Southwest Region 2 Special Response Team were looking for a weapon registered to Ingram, according to the report just released by the Orange Police Department.

Officers had seized several rifles from Ingram during a previous investigation, police said, and a subsequent inventory led officers to believe that an additional rifle may be unaccounted for.

"Ingram had made threats against himself and officers previously, which led to an arrest warrant being obtained for him," the report states.

Ingram was arrested without incident, and no new weapons were seized during the search. Police said the missing rifle was accounted for by officers; it was determined that the rifle had been transfered. 

Ingram was held on 25,000 bond, police said.
