A man in Roosevelt, Sean Nolan, was arrested by the Nassau County Police Department this week for alleged criminal possession of weapons. He was taken to a hospital after his arrest for unspecified treatment.
On Nov. 8 at about 6:30 p.m. , Nolan, 55, was arrested after detectives were notified of possible gunshot fired on Cedar Street in Roosevelt. Responding officers were informed that the landlord of the residence that Nolan was staying in heard a loud bang coming from his room before he fled the scene on foot.
A short time later, Nolan was located nearby and placed under arrest without incident. He was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment. Detectives report that no injuries had occurred, so it is unclear if Nolan was given a psychiatric evaluation or given some other form of medical care.
Officers recovered a revolver handgun, multiple long guns, high capacity magazines and ammunition from the scene. A shell casing was also recovered from the ground.
Nolan has been charged with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, reckless endangerment in the second degree, two counts of unlawful possession of an ammunition feeding device, four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Each charge, if convicted, carries a sentence between one to seven years under New York State law. Nolan was arraigned at the First District Court of Hempstead on Nov. 9.
