Police: Salisbury man arrested after threatening to shoot woman

SALISBURY, Md. – A Salisbury man is facing a list of charges after he reportedly held a gun to a woman’s head Wednesday night.

We’re told that shortly after 10 p.m., a caller to the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack reported that a man had hit a woman with his fist, pointed a gun at her head, and argued with her. The caller reported that the suspect could be heard “counting down” and gave a description of the clothing worn by both individuals.

When troopers arrived on the scene in the 500 block of East College Avenue, the suspect and victim were gone, but they found a loaded and cocked handgun in the grass behind a church where the original caller reported the two were standing. While troopers continued the search, they received additional information about two people hiding in the bushes in the 600 block of East College Avenue.

Troopers then found the female victim as well as the suspect, identified as 19-year-old Kwelli Green. A search of Green led to the recovery of suspected crack cocaine and less than ten grams of suspected marijuana.

Green was charged with first and second degree assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possessing a firearm while under 21, wear/carry/transporting a firearm on their person, wear/carry/transporting a loaded firearm on their person, and two drug charges.
