AUBURN, MASS. (WHDH) - A Charlton man is facing several charges after police said he threatened to shoot up a AAA office in Auburn.
The 86-year-old man became angry over a miscommunication involving an overcharge for his AAA membership, police said. He allegedly threatened to come back with a gun and shoot the office up. Employees at the AAA called police and closed the office as a precaution.
Employees gave them a description of the man’s car and his license plate and they were able to locate him, police said. He had no guns on him or access to firearms and was very apologetic for what he did, they added.
The man’s family told 7News he does not want to talk.
He was charged with threatening to commit a crime, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.
