🚨FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: UPDATE 🚨

Walmart Incident

The Herkimer Police Department is providing an update regarding the incident that occurred earlier today at Walmart.

Officers responded to reports of a active incident and possible shots fired, causing alarm and a chaotic situation inside. Officers quickly located and detained a male suspect without further incident.

The investigation determined the weapon possessed by the male suspect was an imitation pistol not capable of firing live ammunition. While no shots were fired and no injuries were reported, the individual’s actions caused significant fear among patrons and staff.

The suspect, Maeleeke Warner, age 19, of Utica, has been taken into custody and is currently facing the following charges:

* Menacing
* Criminal Possession of a Weapon
* Unlawful Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device

Warner is being held pending arraignment with a bail recommendation of $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond.

There is no ongoing threat to the public, and the situation was resolved safely.

The Herkimer Police Department would like to thank the Herkimer County District Attorney’s Office, Mohawk Police Department, New York State Police, Herkimer County Sheriff’s Office and Herkimer County 911 for their assistance. The rapid response of all involved resulted in a quick and successful outcome.
