Police arrest, accuse man of pointing gun at security guard in French Quarter
New Orleans LA Jan 20 2019Â Police arrested a 26-year-old man accused of pointing a gun at a security guard after he was asked to leave a bar in the French Quarter Thursday (Jan. 17), police said.
Andrew Breaux was booked with aggravated assault, negligent carrying of a concealed weapon, possession of firearm inside of an alcoholic beverage outlet and criminal trespassing, according to jail records.
Police responded to the aggravated assault call around 1:45 a.m. in the 500 block of Bourbon Street.
Two days before police say Breaux pointed a gun at a security guard, police were notified of an aggravated assault around 3:35 a.m. in the same block of Bourbon Street. Police are looking for a man with a skinny build, about 5-feet, 7-inches tall in that incident.
After asking a woman for her cellphone to put in his number, the man walked away with her phone, police said. The woman chased the man, until he pulled up his shirt to reveal a black firearm tucked in his waistband.
The woman backed away and ran on Toulouse Street toward Rampart Street, police said.
At the time of the assault, the man was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a jean jacket and light-colored distressed jeans, police said.
Anyone with additional information on these incidents is asked to call the NOPD Eighth District at 504-658-6080.
