A Valley Stream man was arrested after he allegedly brandished a gun at a landscaper. He was later found to have a knife and another handgun in his possession.
On November 29 at 1:40 p.m., officers from Nassau County’s Fifth Squad responded to a disturbance at a Rose Avenue residence in Valley Stream.
