THE APEX TIMES
Lexington police said officers responded to reports of firearm disorder near Embry Avenue and Bennett Avenue just before 5 p.m. on Sunday, and two men are facing criminal charges.
Lexington police said two men are facing charges after a reported firearm disorder incident in the city on Sunday evening. Officers responded to the intersection of Embry Avenue and Bennett Avenue just before 5 p.m., according to WKYT.
The report did not specify the nature of the firearms involved or how officers determined what occurred at the scene. It also did not provide details on the men charged, including their names, ages, or the specific counts filed.
In the immediate aftermath of the call, police conducted an on-scene response consistent with handling an active disorder involving firearms. The report indicates the criminal case is now moving forward through the charging process.
Following an incident like this, the next steps typically include formal arraignment and court proceedings where prosecutors present the allegations and defendants are able to respond in court. WKYT did not include any information in its report about bond, court dates, or potential outcomes.
The Lexington Police Department has not publicly expanded on the underlying facts in the information described by WKYT in the coverage, and further details may depend on subsequent court filings and additional statements from law enforcement.
Residents in the immediate area may see continued scrutiny and enforcement as the case develops, particularly because firearm-related disorder can raise public safety concerns for nearby homes, businesses, and passing traffic.
