On Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at about 4:51pm, the CNMI Department of Public Safety received a 911 call reporting that an individual had pointed a gun in the village of Chinatown on Saipan. Police units were dispatched to the scene.
The first units to arrive on the scene met with witnesses, who told police that a man had pointed a gun at them before walking away from the scene with two unknown adults. Police shared the description of the three suspects to other units in the area. Shortly after, three men matching the description were apprehended outside a neighboring apartment.
Police spoke with the victims who stated that they were having a conversation when they noticed a passing tenant was intoxicated. One of the victims told the tenant that they looked drunk. The suspect then asked the victims to repeat what they had said. The victim repeated what was said, before the suspect pointed a black gun at them. The victims immediately took cover and hid until police arrived.
Police identified Anthony C. Rangamar as the suspect and found a black pellet gun on him. At about 5:59pm, Rangamar was arrested and transported to the Department of Corrections where he was booked and detained.
The CNMI Department of Public Safety highly encourages the public to call 911 anytime to report a crime or an emergency. (PR)
