Two people were arrested in Hampton last week after a woman allegedly threatened a man with a BB gun that looked identical to a handgun.

Hampton police were dispatched to the area of Ashworth Avenue on Wednesday after receiving a criminal threatening report. When they arrived, they were told that a woman had threatened a man and police received a description of her.

Officers found Brittany Champoux, 21, of Hampton, near the scene and recovered the BB gun.

Champoux was arrested on a felony criminal threatening with a deadly weapon charge and was transported to Rockingham County Jail to be held on no bail with a preventative detention status.

While police officers were conducting their investigation on Ashworth Avenue, they were approached by a person who told them they had just witnessed an argument between two men.

One of the men pulled out a knife, the witness told police.

Officers found the two men who were allegedly arguing and during a safety pat-down, they discovered a large fixed-blade knife.

Cameron Ayers, 20, of Hampton, was arrested and charged with three counts of felony criminal threatening with a deadly weapon.

Police say there were three victims in the case they have against Ayers, so they charged him with three felonies. One of the victims was a juvenile, according to police officials.

Ayers was also transported to Rockingham County Jail to be held on no bail with a preventative detention status.

Police say nobody was injured in either incident.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
