HOLYOKE— A Chicopee father and son were arrested Saturday morning after the older man allegedly threatened a club bouncer with a handgun.

Holyoke Police Lt. Larry Cournoyer said Lucas Medina, 54, of Chicopee Street in Chicopee, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, while his son, 21-year-old Alexander Medina, was charged with illegal possession of a stun gun.

According to police reports, the incident began shortly after 1 a.m. when Lucas Medina tried to enter the Los Masters Social Club at 65 Commercial Street in Holyoke. Luis Rivera, serving as security at the front door of the club, refused to allow Medina in because he was already intoxicated, Rivera told police. He said Medina pulled a handgun and pointed it at him saying, "I'd kill you but I don't want to lose my job." At that point, Rivera grabbed the gun away from Medina, who then ran to his car and fled the scene.

Rivera called the police and turned the handgun over to authorities, and a call was put out for patrolling cruisers to keep and eye out for Medina's grey-colored SUV.

Approximately an hour later, Rivera called police saying the Medina car was on Commercial Street, and had just tried to force him to stop as he left the club. Police units responded with Sgt. David Usher and officers Tim Skyira and Juan Cruz first on the scene.

The three detained the driver of the car, who turned out to be Medina's son Alexander. He was searched and reportedly had a licensed handgun in the car, and an illegal stun gun in his pocket. He was taken to police headquarters.

No long after the younger Medina was arrested, Lucas Medina was found hiding behind a guard rail on Sargeant Street. He was taken to police headquarters as well.

According to arrest reports, Alexander told police the handgun his father was carrying belonged to him, and he armed himself with a handgun and a stun gun, and went to Holyoke to try to get it back from Rivera.

Both Medinas were formally arrested, and the weapons were confiscated, as were the men's licenses to carry. Cournoyer said Holyoke Police contacted Chicopee licensing authorities requesting an investigation into the men's firearm licenses. Holyoke police, with Chicopee officers, went to the Median home and confiscated any firearms found there.

Cournoyer said the investigation into the incident continues and additional charges may be brought against the pair.
