A Michigan man, aged 43, has been detained after reportedly expressing anger and threatening to attack his son’s elementary school over his child not having enough time to finish a snack.

Authorities have charged David Scott Jr. with possessing a weapon or ammunition as a prohibited person, intentionally threatening violence against a school, and engaging in obscene or disorderly conduct following his arrest this week.

Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido emphasized in a statement, “Threatening violence against a school or its staff is unacceptable under any circumstances, particularly over something as trivial as a classroom snack. Our office is committed to taking all threats to schools seriously, ensuring the safety of students, teachers, and the community by pursuing charges.”

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office revealed in a news release that Scott arrived at Pleasantview Elementary School around 3:30 p.m., upset because his child hadn’t received a snack during snack time.

“He confronted the child’s teacher, issued threats, and declared he would return the next day,” stated the release.

Due to his actions, police obtained and executed a search warrant for Scott’s home where they allegedly recovered multiple rounds of ammunition, which Scott is legally prohibited from possessing.

Eastpointe Police Lt. Alex Holish provided additional details about the incident to Detroit ABC affiliate WXYZ.

“There was an enraged parent who was upset about the fact that his first grader did not have sufficient time for snack time and this parent decided to make threats against the school,” he said.

Investigators said that Scott was “screaming, cursing, and threatening” his son’s teacher in front of the school’s staff, the young students, and the other parents who were on campus picking up their children. During his purported tirade, Scott allegedly repeated several times that when he returned the next day he was going to “air the place out,” which police said is a slang phrase that means shooting up a location or building.

But the boy’s mother defended Scott, telling WXYZ that while he may have overreacted, her son had been coming home from school hungry for several weeks.

“His dad, of course, because it’s been ongoing got upset,” the mother, Tykeissia Watkins told the station. “I really think that it was blown completely out of proportion.”

She also said she did not believe that Scott really threatened to shoot up the school.

In a statement, the school said Scott’s behavior was “unacceptable.”

“Eastpointe Community Schools takes all threats to our schools, our students, and our staff incredibly seriously, and we will not tolerate this kind of behavior at our schools,” the statement said.

A judge set Scott’s bond at $150,000 cash or surety, meaning he cannot post 10% of the total. The judge also ordered him to undergo a mental health evaluation. Should he post bond, Scott must wear a GPS tracking device and not leave the state, consume alcohol, or have contact with the school, employees or complaining witnesses.
