MANCHESTER — A Manchester man is facing serious charges after allegedly threatening teenagers with a gun and Taser following an initial loitering incident.
On the morning of Feb. 21, at approximately 1:20 a.m., Manchester police responded to a report from Autofair Honda on Keller St., where an unknown vehicle was spotted in the lot.
Officers made contact with 34-year-old Scott White, who was inside a car with several juveniles.
White was charged with loitering and prowling after it was determined he did not work at the dealership and could not explain his presence there.
Police also learned he allegedly stopped another vehicle in the parking lot and was found to have a gun, badge, taser, and handcuffs with him.
White was released on PR bail, but just hours later, around 7:30 a.m., it was reported to a detective that White allegedly pointed a rifle at two teenagers as they waited for the school bus.
As the investigation continued, detectives discovered that prior to these incidents, on Feb. 5, White had allegedly threatened teenagers with a gun and Taser and had followed them in his vehicle.
A warrant was issued for White’s arrest, and he was arrested on Feb. 28.
White has been charged with criminal threatening with a deadly weapon, criminal use of an electronic self-defense weapon, and reckless conduct with a deadly weapon for the earlier incident.
He is also facing two counts of criminal threatening – deadly weapon for the bus stop encounter.
White is currently being held on preventative detention.
