Arrest Made In Armed Threats Investigation
WASHINGTON, Pa – The City of Washington Police Department has filed criminal charges against Brett Carroll following an investigation into an incident that occurred on July 7, 2026, in the area of the Uni-Mart located at 500 North Main Street. At 3:59 p.m. on July 7, officers were dispatched to the area after receiving reports that an armed male had threatened another individual with a handgun. During the investigation, detectives learned that the suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at the victim, threatened to kill him, and pursued him from the area. Witness statements, surveillance footage, and additional investigative efforts led detectives to identify Brett Carroll as the suspect. At 10:50 a.m. on July 8, officers were dispatched to the 300 Block of Burton Avenue for the victims involved in the previous incident reporting that the suspect was back in the immediate vicinity of their residence. Upon officers arriving on scene, the male was found to already have left the area and officers were not able to locate the male. During the overnight hours into the morning of July 9, Carroll turned himself in on an Adult Probation bench warrant that had been issued as a result of this incident and other probation-related concerns. He remains in custody. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, stalking, and firearms not to be carried without a license. Authorities say their investigation is continuing and more charges could be filed.
