Two men were charged in separate incidents in Bowling Green over the weekend for handling firearms while intoxicated.
On Saturday (Jan. 17), around 2:30 a.m., Bowling Green Police were called to a business in the 100 block of North Prospect Street for a report of a male with a firearm. Police found Andrew Moreno-Lopez, 23, of Leipsic, with an imprint of a firearm on the right side of his waistband. He was found to have a gun in his waistband, a bar band on his wrist, glossy eyes, and difficult time performing sobriety tests.
On Sunday (Jan. 18), around 11:19 p.m., police were called to an apartment in the 600 block of Frazee Avenue, where residents reported a loud noise, then found a hole in one wall and a bullet in the opposite wall.
Police went to the apartment next door and found Kyle Frazier, 23, who reportedly first told police he had a 20-gauge shotgun, but not a handgun. But police found the hole in the apartment wall, and Frazier reportedly showed them the handgun.
He was cited for handling weapons while intoxicated and discharging a weapon in city limits.
