Maryland Scrooge Arrested For Pulling Gun On Young Christmas Carolers

A Maryland Scrooge was arrested after reportedly pointing a gun at a group of young Christmas carolers. I understand not wanting to hear it, but you can't do that!

Bah-humbug! I can understand being a Christmas Scrooge. Sometimes, you're just not in the mood for joy and celebration. I feel like we can all get that way. Unfortunately, you can't take things to this length when you're annoyed. You can shut the door but don't pull a gun on them! The incident happened in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. CBS News reports that 3 12-year-old girls were spreading holiday cheer in the Epping Forest neighborhood when they knocked on the door of 58-year-old Paul Brian Susie who showed up in a bay window pointing a gun at the carolers sending them running away. He admitted that it was him in the incident and has been charged with 3 counts each of 1st-degree assault, 2nd-degree assault, and reckless endangerment along with 1 count of wearing and carrying a handgun while under the influence.

Susie is expected back in court for a preliminary hearing in December. According to CBS News, an officer wrote in charging documents, "Given Susie's reckless behavior in pointing a loaded firearm at a group of non-threatening twelve year old's he could clearly see on his well-lit stoop, his loud and belligerent behavior during my conversation with him, and his admission of consuming an alcoholic beverage I know through my training, knowledge, and experience Susie was likely under the influence."
