JUPITER, Fla. – A Florida man faces aggravated assault charges after an apparent prank involving four teenage boys went awry.
The Palm Beach Post (http://pbpo.st/1XxvsBZ ) reports 26-year-old Ignacio J. Garcia called Jupiter police Sunday after the teens tossed an egg into his pickup truck.
A police report states Garcia then followed the teens to Interstate 95. The teens told investigators that Garcia pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot.
Police stopped both vehicles and initially handcuffed the teens — ages 15 and 16. They were released when police found no "permanent damage" to Garcia's truck.
But Garcia insisted police contact their parents, who told investigators the man had pulled a gun on their sons.
Garcia was released from Jail Tuesday. Records don't say whether he has a lawyer.
