Charges dropped in weapons-related incident

Charges have been dismissed in the case of a Lawrence man whom police arrested in June on suspicion of aggravated assault and endangering a child.

Officers arrested Mark Gann, 31, on June 22 after responding to a report of a disturbance with weapons in the 400 block of Graystone Drive.

The charges related to a fight Gann reportedly had with his neighbor over a handgun and the discovery of two children under 10 left unattended with loaded weapons.

“The charges in this case were filed on an unsafe condition in the home,” said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney. “The unsafe condition was rectified and it was decided to dismiss the case without prejudice.”
