North Charleston police arrested a 22-year-old woman after she allegedly threatened to shoot the manager of a Dollar General store on Northbrook Boulevard.
Nakyah Denae Odom of North Charleston was arrested Nov. 4 and charged with assault and battery in the first degree, according to the North Charleston Police Department's arrest listing. Live 5 News and WCBD News 2 also reported the arrest.
Officers were dispatched to the Dollar General at 2080 Northbrook Boulevard around 3:30 p.m. after receiving a report of a disturbance involving a firearm, according to the department's arrest record.
The store manager told officers she was helping customers when Odom entered and began arguing with her. Odom allegedly accused the manager of making a negative comment about her. The manager denied making the comment and tried to walk away, but Odom reportedly followed her around the store, police said.
Odom then reached into a bookbag and said, "I'll shoot you," according to police. ABC News 4 and WYFF 4 also reported the alleged threat.
When officers arrived, they found Odom inside the store. Asked whether she had a firearm, Odom allegedly told officers she had her husband's gun, according to WCBD.
Officers recovered a 9mm handgun from the bookbag, police said.
Odom was transported to the Al Cannon Detention Center, according to the department's arrest listing.
