ORLEANS — A 24-year-old Harwich man pleaded not guilty in Orleans District Court Tuesday to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and other charges after he allegedly pulled a gun on a man who he said owed him $1,800. In their report, Dennis police officers said they responded to the parking lot of the popular Sundae School Ice Cream parking lot off Lower County Road in Dennis Port at 1 p.m. Saturday for a report of an altercation involving a gun.

Police armed with pistols and two rifles took up position and asked Odane Morrison to get out of his vehicle. Police found a handgun and ammunition in Morrison’s vehicle. Morrison told police that the victim owed him $1,800 that he had borrowed to get his son out of legal troubles, according to the police report. The victim said he owed the Harwich man $500 for a marijuana transaction.

Police also found a 2-year-old in a car seat in Morrison’s car.

Morrison does have a valid license to carry a weapon issued by Harwich police. He pleaded not guilty to having an open container of alcohol in a car; assault and battery to collect a loan; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon; and reckless endangerment of a child. He was released on $2,000 bail and is due back in Orleans court on June 27 for a pretrial hearing.
