The police responded on Friday morning to calls from a gathering of pro-life activists demonstrating in front of the Planned Parenthood center in Dover. The police investigation states that Aniska “engaged with the pro-life demonstrators that were on the public sidewalk and an argument ensued.” 

According to the Dover Police Department’s press release, the suspect “pulled out a black handgun and made a threatening statement to the group.”

Officers apprehended Aniska at the scene and charged him with two counts of aggravated menacing, two counts of terroristic threatening, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. He was released on a $26,000 unsecured bond. 

So far, it is not known what started the altercation between Aniska and the pro-life protesters that led to the brandishing of the firearm. This is not the first time that the suspect has run afoul of the law. In 2009, he was arrested for graffiti in Newark, New Jersey.
