Florida Walmart shopper charged with pulling gun during mask dispute

Perhaps he can get a pardon like the couple in Missouri that was pointing guns at peaceful protesters. Of course, look at the kid gloves they are using on the guy. He only had to give up his concealed weapon permit?

A Palm Beach County man is facing felony charges for pointing a gun at another Walmart shopper who had told him to wear a mask, officials said Thursday.

Vincent Scavetta, 28, was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and improper exhibition of a firearm after surrendering Wednesday to Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies. At a Thursday hearing, bail was set at $15,000.

According to an arrest report, Scavetta, who has a concealed weapons permit, admitted to sheriff’s investigators he was the shopper in surveillance video who pulled a gun during a July 12 argument with Chris Estrada, who had told him to wear a mask because of the coronavirus pandemic. Palm Beach County requires masks be worn in stores.

Estrada told detectives he did not want to pursue charges, but he wanted Scavetta to lose his concealed weapons permit. Detectives told Scavetta’s attorney that no charges would likely be filed if Scavetta gave up his permit, but Scavetta declined. Prosecutors then decided to pursue charges.

toting idiot, for literally threatening his life. Sue for tens of thousands of dollars and make the gun idiot suffer (as he should).
