Police Seek Man Who Displayed Gun in Johnson City Business

Johnson City police are trying to locate a person who showed a handgun after he became angry while inside a village store.

The incident occurred at Wilson Deli at the corner of Main and Arch streets around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Police Chief Brent Dodge said a man entered the store and reportedly asked for some free cigarettes.  He became upset when his request was declined.
