A Scranton man aimed a firearm at another man and threatened to shoot him, alleging the other man cut him off in traffic, according to a criminal complaint.
Matthew Demarco, 32, is charged with making terroristic threats and harassment.
According to the criminal complaint:
At about 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Demarco and Peter Graziano were driving east on the Casey Highway in their respective vehicles.
Both men got off the highway at Exit 3 toward Jessup, with Graziano pulling off to the right lane and Demarco pulling off to the left lane.
At that point, Demarco, of 926 Stafford Ave., lowered his passenger side window, began yelling that Graziano had cut him off in traffic, and the two began arguing.
Demarco pulled out a black handgun and aimed it at Graziano in a threatening manner. He cocked the slide, simulating he was loading a round into the chamber.
Demarco then aimed the handgun directly at Graziano and threatened to kill him.
State police later found Demarco at the Loyalty Barber Shop in Archbald, where he works.
He admitted there was an altercation but told a different version of the story than Graziano.
Troopers found the firearm inside the barbershop, stored in a black leather holster and unloaded.
Officers identified the firearm as a Stoeger 9 mm handgun.
Demarco has a preliminary hearing at 10 a.m. on Nov. 17 before District Judge Kipp Adcock.
