Man accused of firing a gun inside a Richmond bar, endangering 20
A Richmond man was arrested Thursday and charged with 20 counts of wanton endangerment after he allegedly fired a gun inside a bar, police said.
Joseph Conley, 29, was also charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon, Richmond police said in a release.
Police said Conley “created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to others” Sunday when he pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at a group of people at The Copper Still on Water Street in Richmond.
Twenty people were in the immediate area when Conley fired the gun, police said.
Conley didn’t have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, police said.
He was lodged in the Madison County jail.
