Man, 18, Brings BB Gun to South Shore Prom, Threatens Student, Police Say

Police said the 18-year-old was detained after allegedly threatening a student and brandishing a firearm, with no injuries reported.

  • On Thursday night, police detained 18-year-old Adrian Arroyo after he allegedly brandished a BB gun outside the South Shore Technical High School prom at the Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston.
  • Arroyo, who was not a student but known to attendees, got into a parking lot argument with two students, during which he allegedly threatened to strike one with his vehicle.
  • Kingston Police Department Chief Brian Holmes stated, 'What I would really hope is that kids have enough sense to know not to bring up a gun that looks like a real gun,' as detectives recovered the black Crossman BB gun from a vehicle in Randolph.
  • Arroyo appeared in Plymouth District Court on Friday, pleading not guilty to charges including assault with a dangerous weapon; he remains detained pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for June 2.
  • Authorities confirmed no injuries occurred during the incident, and police maintained an increased presence at the dance to ensure student safety, with the suspect's arrest eliminating any immediate public risk.
