Man Arrested After Brandishing Gun During Family Dispute in Dudley

Okay, listen to this crazy story. Martin Gordon had a loud family fight that escalated from inside the house to the street. He was 64 years old; someone filmed him waving a gun around, and he also had something like a wooden stick.

This happened on Brierley Hill Road in Dudley around 1 PM on August 11, 2024. People reported a man aimed a gun at a woman. Cops located Gordon’s car near Pensnett Road about fifteen minutes later.

Police bodycam footage showed the moment they found him near a dark four-wheel drive vehicle. Officers pointed guns at him and told Gordon to get down and show his hands. He was arrested soon after that.

He had a magazine with two bullets in his pocket, while the actual gun was inside his car. Gordon, who lived on Brierley Hill Road in Wordsley, confessed to having the firearm following a police investigation.

A court sentenced him on February 13 at Wolverhampton Crown Court, and he received five years in jail. Police stated that Gordon didn’t hide the gun; he showed it to everyone.

Officers acted fast to catch him and recover the gun quickly. Police are working hard to fight gun crime, remove weapons, and jail offenders, according to their statement after the sentencing.
