Brownwood Police met with a complainant at the Law Enforcement Center around noon on Monday, December 17th, with a report that he was just threatened with a gun by two unknown men.
According to the report, the complainant stated that he went to pay his AT&T bill at the local store on W. Commerce and had just exited his vehicle when a pickup with two male subjects pulled up beside him and began making racial slurs at the complainant who is of Asian descent.
After going into the store, the complainant decided to follow the men and ask them why they would talk to him like that and curse him, the report states. The complainant pulled up beside the truck and asked the suspects why they would do such a thing, when one of the males reached behind the seat of the pickup and pulled out a rifle, showing it to him, and said “get out of my way or I am going to kill you,” the report states. The complainant told police that the suspects did not point the gun at him, but that he felt threatened and that they also threw food onto his vehicle.
The complainant called 9-1-1 and was told not to follow the pickup anymore. The suspect vehicle was last seen traveling north on Hwy 183 in Early, toward May, so the Rising Star and Eastland police departments were advised of the vehicle; however it was not able to be located, the report states. A license plate number was provided by the complainant and the incident was investigated as an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a report was filed.In other unrelated law enforcement arrests and reports released Tuesday, December 18, 2012:
