BRUNSWICK (AP) — A Brunswick landlord is facing charges for allegedly pointing a shotgun at a tenant he believes stole from him.
Police say 57-year-old Peter Davis is charged with criminal threatening and terrorizing.
Deputy Police Chief Marc Hagan says Davis reported a theft at his residence on Monday and that he believed a tenant who lives in the same building was responsible.
Hagan says Davis called police again on Tuesday, said he was dissatisfied with the speed of the investigation, and that he would handle matters himself.
A short time later, a 21-year-old woman called to say Davis had pointed a shotgun at her face and threatened to kill her with her 1-year-old old and 4-month-old children present.
Davis is out on bail.
