CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – According to Cleveland Police, around 3 p.m. Saturday, 21-year-old George M. Ivery was arrested after he made a shooting threat and threatened to intimidate a civilian.

According to court documents, Ivery entered Tower City with a gun. While in Tower City, several people called the police because a man was threatening people with a gun.
