18-year-old arrested after pulling BB gun on hotel security guard

When Denton police arrived on scene, they saw a shirtless man running from behind the hotel. Officers learned that the hotel security guard awakened an 18-year-old man who was asleep behind the hotel along with a woman. When asked to leave the premises, the teenager reportedly refused and cussed at the security guard. He then pulled a gun from a backpack, and the security guard and a hotel staff member went back inside.

Police investigated and discovered that the gun the 18-year-old pulled out of the backpack was a BB gun.

They arrested him on a charge of giving a terroristic threat causing fear of severe bodily injury, a misdemeanor, and booked him into the Denton city jail.

1400 block of Dallas Drive — Officers responded to a robbery at a business after a man caused a disturbance at the location.

Officers talked to an employee who was a witness, and she told officers a man had brought a drink he'd bought there earlier back into the store and asked to exchange it. The employee told the man that company policy forbids such exchanges, but he took the drink — a warm beer — to the cooler and exchanged it for a cold beer.

The employee confronted the man, who told her to get out of the way and shoved her, which is considered an assault and made the incident a robbery instead of a theft.
