An argument over a parking space on Everett Street led to firearms charges against 27-year-old Craig Iannoli, who was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a shotgun without a permit, among other offenses.
EASTHAMPTON – A local man is accused of bringing a shotgun to a weekend argument, which ended after he allegedly emerged from his apartment with the weapon slung over his shoulder.
Craig A. Iannoli, 27, of 54 Everett St., was charged late Saturday afternoon with multiple firearms offenses, including assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a shotgun and ammunition without a permit, and improper storage of a firearm, according to a report in the Daily Hampshire Gazette. That information could not immediately be confirmed with a ranking Easthampton police official, who was on patrol early Tuesday morning and unavailable for comment.
The Northampton newspaper reports that Iannoli, from a second-floor apartment window, began arguing with a group of women below about a parking space. Things reportedly escalated as Iannoli emerged from the apartment with a shotgun over his shoulder, prompting the women to call 911, the newspaper reports.
The address of the alleged incident is located near the corner of Everett and Lovell streets in a long row of 2½-story apartments bordering St. Brigid's Cemetery.
No further information was available this morning.
