PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

ORANGE CITY, Fla. - A Volusia County man has been charged with threatening his neighbors with a slingshot.

Orange City police say 65-year-old Francisco Ramos got into an argument with another man in the laundry room of their apartment complex on Sunday. The resident told police that Ramos left the room, saying "You made a big mistake with me."

Ramos reportedly came back later and pointed a slingshot at the other man and his mother. The resident called police, who responded and questioned Ramos. An officer arrested Ramos and reported finding a slingshot and four rocks in the man's pocket. Ramos told the officer that the weapon didn't belong to him.

Ramos was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest without violence. He was released Monday on $3,000 bail.
