An elderly man from Salesville, Arkansas has been charged with threatening to kill a little boy for walking down the street with his skateboard.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says Emile Joseph Landry, 74, began yelling at the 11 year-old as the child was walking down the street.
Landry was charged with terroristic threatening after a witness told authorities Landry threatened to kill the child and told the child he had a gun and would shoot him. The witness told the deputy that Landry removed a .22 caliber handgun from his pocket and handed it to him to keep before deputies arrived on scene.

Just out of curiosity, are they going to perform a psychological evaluation on him?
I'm sure his attorney will make a motion that one be conducted.
