Man arrested just before grand opening at N.H. store

[April 03, 2009]  NEWPORT, N.H. (AP) -- Just as a Massachusetts man was about to open his new urban clothing store in Newport, N.H., police arrested him on a federal warrant. The man, 26, was arrested in front of his store, Mr. G's Fashions, shortly before its grand opening Wednesday.

The New Hampshire Union Leader reported the man was arrested on a federal warrant for a charge of felon in possession of a firearm.

He was to be arraigned in federal court Thursday. Police also said they found heroin and cocaine in the car he arrived in.

It was unclear whether the store, which would have started selling clothing, music and other items, would open in the future.
