A man reportedly irate with an employee at a San Bernardino towing yard was arrested after he allegedly pulled a gun on the worker and was later found in possession of several other weapons, authorities announced.
It’s unclear exactly what time the Oct. 14 incident occurred, but officials with the San Bernardino Police Department said in a social media post that the suspect arrived at the tow yard driving a big yellow school bus to pick up his impounded truck.
No details were provided on the circumstances surrounding the man’s alleged outburst, but police say they were called after he reportedly pulled a gun out and pointed it at the employee.
Responding officers took him into custody, recovered the handgun and, during a search of his property, located a scoped rifle, ammunition and a crossbow.
Investigators did not stipulate whether the man was illegally in possession of the weapons.
Though they are not considered archery equipment, crossbows are legal in the state as long as they meet certain requirements, including a 125-pound draw weight, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The man, whose identity was not released, was arrested on a felony charge, police said.
