Police arrested a man on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm after responding to a fight call at an East Side apartment complex about 2:05 a.m. Monday.

Officers were called for a fight between a man and a woman inside an apartment at the Plazaview apartments and found 29-year-old Lonnie Harris, of Youngstown, outside an apartment. Harris matched the description of the man involved in the fight, reports said.

Next to Harris was a small, .38-caliber revolver, reports said. A woman inside the apartment identified Harris as the man in the apartment and said he pointed a small handgun at her during the argument.

Harris was taken to Mahoning County jail.

Reports show he had a conviction for carrying concealed weapons in June 2005, which makes him ineligible to have a gun.
