Police say a man drunkenly drove to a Delaware car wash and pulled a gun on a patron he believed cut ahead of him in line.
Dover police told news outlets Monday that 68-year-old Joseph Rivard was arrested on charges including driving under the influence of alcohol and aggravated menacing. A police statement says officers responding Friday to a report of an armed man at West Side Car Wash on Forest Avenue found Rivard with a revolver on his hip.
The police department said surveillance video shows Rivard confronting the other driver for pulling forward in the business' line. It says Rivard blocked the driver from leaving, grabbed a gun from his car and aimed it at the man. It says an investigation revealed that Rivard was drunk at the time.
It's unclear if Rivard has a lawyer.
