A 50-year-old man allegedly scared drivers on South Winooski Avenue by waving a replica pistol-style lighter—mistaken for a real gun—while out of jail on prior disorderly conduct charges. Witnesses were terrified, unaware it was fake, turning a routine drive into a panic-inducing ordeal. Police detained him and found the prop weapon; he now faces new charges as authorities investigate further. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
