An Ohio man faces charges that he was intoxicated when he approached children at the Coral Ridge Mall, then threatened to kill arriving police.
Coralville Police were called to the mall’s ice arena just after 9:45 Monday morning for an intoxicated male approaching children. 63-year-old Aristeal Bennett of Toledo, Ohio allegedly showed signs of intoxication, swore constantly, and refused breath testing. Police say Bennett threatened to kill officers and their families and made several derogatory comments toward the officers and mall security.
Bennett was arrested and charged with Public Intoxication.
