GILLETTE (WNE) — Two teens were arrested for aggravated assault early Sunday morning for allegedly following another teen and pointing guns at him.

Police had gotten a call from an 18-year-old man who said a group of teens were following him in the area of Overlook Park and pointing guns at him, said Police Deputy Chief Brent Wasson.

Officers learned that four teens were involved in a dispute with the reporting teen, and after seeing him, chased and tried to block his escape. The victim said he was standing outside when two of the teens, Nathan Posse and Hunter Valconesi, pointed guns at him as they sat in the back seat of a 2011 Ford, Wasson said.

He said they pointed the guns at him for 20 minutes before he called the police.

Officers located the teens, searched the vehicle and found four handguns.

Police arrested Posse and Valconesi for aggravated assault, a felony. The driver, a 19-year-old man, was ticketed for reckless endangerment.
