Some Bradley County, Tenn., residents who say sheriff’s deputies refused to arrest a man who threatened them with a rifle last week are going to court this morning to ask a judge to order the man’s arrest.
Josh Ptak said he was driving on Broomfield Road at Young Road on May 17 with his 1 1/2-year-old daughter and his friend, Roger Webb.
Next to him, Barbra Lowe had her 10-year-old grandson and 15-year-old Corey Dixon, her granddaughter’s boyfriend, in her own car.
Both vehicles were stopped at the four-way stop when Ptak and Webb heard a man shouting, “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
They looked right, across a lawn to a house and saw a shirtless man in black shorts holding a rifle to the head of another person sitting in a small pickup truck in the driveway.
