Eastpointe Parent Arrested After Elementary School Threats

On Oct. 22, an Eastpointe parent confronted a teacher at Pleasantview Elementary after his child did not receive snack time, allegedly screaming, cursing and threatening to "air the place out" in front of students, staff and other parents. No one was injured. Eastpointe officers — including the School Resource Officer and investigative units — arrested the suspect about two hours later at his girlfriend's home. Police identified him as 44-year-old David Scott; he was arraigned on charges including felon-in-possession of ammunition and disorderly conduct, and the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing the case. Authorities said threats against schools are taken seriously and that student safety is a top priority.
