Man Accused Of Threatening Driver's Ed Students With Gun
MANCHESTER, N.H. (CBS) -- A man accused of threatening a group of driver's education students with a gun is now free on bail.
Joseph Duven, 22, of Manchester, N.H. is charged with four counts of criminal threatening and one count of falsifying physical evidence.
Driving instructor Marie Ramsdell was teaching three teens how to parallel park on Chestnut Street Tuesday evening when a man approached and knocked on the front passenger window.
The man, identified by police as Duven, allegedly threatened to shoot everyone in car if they hit his vehicle during the lesson. The instructor and her students told investigators Duven had a black and silver handgun on his hip when he made the threat.
Ramsdell said she calmly allowed the 17-year-old student driver to finish parking before driving away and dialing 911.
Officers later found Duven at the British Beer Company on South Willow Street and arrested him.
He was released on $3,000 cash bail and is due in court December 31.
