A 43-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after allegedly threatening to “air out” Pleasantview Elementary School in Eastpointe because his child did not receive snack time during class.
Police say the incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 22, during student dismissal. The parent, identified as David Scott Jr., reportedly confronted his child’s teacher, demanding an explanation for why the student missed snack time.
According to witnesses, Scott began yelling, cursing, and making violent threats in front of teachers, students, and other parents. Officers say he repeatedly threatened to return the next day and “air the place out,” a slang term meaning to shoot up the school.
Eastpointe police say the man was arrested within two hours after a coordinated response by the department’s Road Patrol, School Resource Officer, Detective Bureau, and Special Investigative Unit.
Scott was arraigned and charged with:
⌁ Possession of ammunition by a prohibited person – five-year felony or $5,000 fine
⌁ Intentional threat to commit an act of violence at a school – misdemeanor, up to one year and $1,000 fine
⌁ Disorderly/obscene conduct – 90-day misdemeanor and $500 fine
Habitual offender, fourth offense based on prior drug and weapons convictions
He pled not guilty, and bond was set at $150,000 cash/surety. Court records show a probable cause conference scheduled for Nov. 5 at 1:00 p.m. and a preliminary examination set for Nov. 12 at 1:00 p.m.
