Lawrence man arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault

Police arrested a 23-year-old Lawrence man around 2 a.m. Saturday on suspicion of aggravated assault, Sgt. Myrone Grady said.

Lawrence Cortez Hubbard was arrested in the 900 block of Massachusetts Street. The arrest followed a physical altercation between Hubbard and another man in which Hubbard allegedly pulled out a gun and shot at the ground, Grady said.

The other man, who was not arrested, was able to wrestle the gun away from Hubbard before police arrived, Grady said.

Hubbard is in the Douglas County Jail with no bond on suspicion of aggravated assault and possession of stolen property.
