MOUNT OLIVE — A patron of a Budd Lake pub was charged with flashing a handgun and threatening an employee who suggested he take a cab home, rather than drive.

Hackettstown resident Patrick J. Hanright, 34, was charged Wednesday with unlawful possession of a handgun and knife and with making terroristic threats at Kennedy's Pub, according to court records.

Hanright was gone when police arrived at 7:13 p.m., but was identified by an employee through a debit card he left behind, court records said.

Officers located Hanright sitting in his car outside his home, allegedly intoxicated. As he was arrested, Hanright said he had a handgun in an inner pocket of his leather coat, according to records, which show he also had a knife in his jeans pocket, records said.

At headquarters, according to records, Hanright told police he "may" have revealed the gun at the bar. In a formal interview, Hanright told police he revealed a gun to the victim at the bar in a threatening manner after the individual suggested he take a cab home, according to records.

Hanright was remanded to the Morris County jail.
