HOLYOKE — A city man was deemed dangerous by a judge Wednesday after authorities say he fired a gun on two separate occasions in one day at a man he believed was having an affair with his wife, allegedly telling police after his arrest that he wanted to “kill them both.”
Erik M. Lawrence, 49, was arraigned Monday in Holyoke District Court on four charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering a building at night for a felony, discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a building, malicious damage to a motor vehicle, threat to commit a crime, discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, wanton destruction of property over $1,200 and disturbing the peace.
He was ordered jailed at a dangerousness hearing Wednesday.
According to court documents by various Holyoke police officers and detectives, police were called at 4:29 p.m. Saturday to the Wyckoff Country Club at 233 Easthampton Road for a report of a shooting. Officer William I. LeBrun’s report said police caught up with Lawrence’s car as he turned to travel north on Northampton Street. Eventually, the car stopped at C-Mart Market, where Lawrence was handcuffed and told police of a handgun in the car.
