Man allegedly threatens neighbors with slingshot
(AP) — A Volusia County man has been charged with threatening his neighbors with a slingshot. Orange City police said a 65-year-old man got into an argument with another man in the laundry room of their apartment complex on Sunday. The resident told police that the suspect left the room, saying "You made a big mistake with me."
The suspect reportedly came back later and pointed a slingshot at the other man and his mother. The resident called police, who questioned him and arrested him. An officer reported finding a slingshot and four rocks in the man's pocket. The suspect told the officer that the weapon didn't belong to him.
The man was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest without violence. He was released Monday on $3,000 bail.
