Geneva man threatened to shoot, kill employees at a local store over purchase

Police say a Geneva man was arrested after threatening to shoot and kill employees at a business in the city.

Gage Leach, 27, was arrested by police after making threats about a purchase at an Exchange Street business.


The name of the business was not released, but police said the disagreement with store employees was prompted over a toilet paper purchase.

The 27-year-old was located shortly after the incident was reported. He was taken into custody after continuing to make threats.

Leach was charged with making a threat, disorderly conduct, and three counts of harassment.

The charges will be answered at a later date in local court.
