Responsible White gun owners stop ‘Western shootout’ between black heroin dealers

According to the Augusta Police Department, they made their arrests thanks to two eyewitnesses to the shootout, who took out their legally-owned handguns to quell the violence. While police did not release the names of the vigilant spectators, a Portland news station interviewed one.

“If a situation is there, you have – not just a personal responsibility – but a civil responsibility to uphold the sanctity of the community,” Daniel Chavanne told WCSH. “That was the moment – the situation was there, and I reacted.”

The four arrested were Kwiesha “Reggie” McBride of Harlem, New York, Frankie Dejesus of Rochester, New York, Diana Davis, also of Rochester, New York, and Samantha Tupper of Augusta.

McBride faces charges of reckless conduct with a firearm, a Class C felony, and aggravated trafficking in schedule W drugs, in this case heroin, a Class B felony. Dejesus is also charged with reckless conduct with a firearm and aggravated assault, a Class B felony. Davis, too, faces an aggravated assault charge, while Tupper faces a probation violation and a charge of furnishing schedule W drugs, heroin, a Class B felony. Their respective bails are $50,000, $25,000, $5,000 and no bail amount for Tupper. They were all booked in Kennebec County Jail.

According to an affidavit filed by Augusta police, McBride and Tupper were in a white Ford Taurus parked next to a silver Volkswagen, where Dejesus and Davis, along with two other women, were sitting in the Walmart parking lot. Shots were fired from one car to another before a physical altercation broke out, which is when the armed bystanders got close enough to the scene to prevent an escalation.

“I informed them that I had a gun, to break it up and get down on the ground,” Chavanne told WCSH. “It’s what any right-minded person should have done.”
