DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody police have arrested a 23-year-old Atlanta man who was allegedly found in possession of illegal narcotics, after an incident at a local Walmart. Police officers were called to the Walmart on Ashford Dunwoody Road at about 4 p.m. June 25, after receiving reports that a man had brandished a handgun at the store. Once on scene, police were told that a man had pulled out a handgun and pointed it at someone during an altercation in the self-checkout line. The suspect, who was still at the scene, said he felt threatened when a man stepped 'too close to him and his fiancé,' and he pulled out the firearm, but did not point it at anyone.
