FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - A Fairbanks restaurant worker suspected of firing shots from the roof of the business has been charged with possessing a firearm as a felon.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (https://bit.ly/2dabK3C) reports 28-year-old Damien Harris was arrested after police found 25 shell casings on the roof of the Food Factory.
Harris was convicted of robbery in 2007 and is prohibited from owning a gun.
