CLERMONT, Florida (WESH) — A man was arrested after he was accused of threatening two teens with a knife because their go-kart was too loud, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On June 8, deputies responded to reports of a dispute involving a knife.
Once they arrived on the scene, they were met with the two victims, who said they were working on a go-kart together in an open garage when the suspect, Richard Carter, walked out of his house and began yelling.
Deputies said Carter then grabbed two knives and threatened to bash their heads in, according to the arrest affidavit.
The report also said one of the teens dropped to his knees and begged Carter not to hurt them.
Deputies said Carter told officials that he was so angry over the noise that he would have picked up whatever was nearby.
Carter is now charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, according to the arrest affidavit. He is out on bond.
Carter is scheduled to appear in court next month.
