MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- For the second time in as many months Murfreesboro Police have arrested someone for being a little too quick to draw a gun.
The MPD says it arrested 43-year-old Walter C. Kissinger Thursday evening after he brandished a handgun during a confrontation with a tow truck driver.
The police incident report says tow truck operator Ernesto Arencibia was trying to pull a semi out of the mud at a construction site on Fortress Blvd. He told police Kissinger pulled up and demanded the tow truck be moved immediately. When Arencibia said it would be a few minutes before he could move, Kissinger reportedly drew a handgun and pointed it in his direction.
Kissinger told police he felt threatened by Arencibia and the men with him. Officers charged Kissinger with Reckless Endangerment. He’ll appear in General Session Court in February.
Back in early November, 67-year-old Sherry L. McClain drew a handgun on a man in the Old Fort Parkway Walmart parking lot after he asked if she had a lighter. Police used surveillance video to determine that the man never approached closer than ten feet and that McClain drew a gun from her purse within two seconds of his speaking to her.
McClain was charged with Aggravated Assault.
