Alpharetta Police said a man pulled a gun on a woman and her granddaughter at a post office because he thought they were going to give him coronavirus.
Police said the incident happened Monday afternoon at the post office on Webb Bridge Road. The victims told police they were both wearing medical masks and gloves when they walked in to the building.
Police said Harvey Taratoot, 75, pointed a gun at them and yelled at them to get back. Taratoot then left the building and drove away.
One of the victims was able to get his license plate number. Officers went to Taratoot's home and arrested him. He's been charged with pointing a gun at another.
Taratoot told officers he was afraid of catching the deadly virus.
“Folks, this was such an overreaction on the part of the suspect,” police said. “Please do not allow fear to overcome your logic while we’re going through this. This could have certainly ended with tragic results for everyone involved.”

So #falseflag
Oops.
Apparently, he skipped the life course on serious Federal felonies...
He should have been arrested for being a dumbass.
By the look of this guy, he pulled a Colt Dragoon on them.
Idiots. Idiots everywhere.
Yep, I was just about to point that little BIG mistake...
Take social distancing to the next level — insist on the 21-foot rule.
Harvey, you screwed up badly. You made it through 75 years, still alive and kickin’ only to do something stupid.
Your mailing address may be changing pretty soon.
This guy is definitely a Freeper. LOL.
So what are they going to do with him. They are emptying the jails of real criminals who have committed much worse. What he did was dumb, but no one got hurt. We seniors have been reminded over and over that this Covid-19 could be our death sentence. He over reacted. Scold him and let him be.
Who’s that riding in the sun?
Who’s the man with the itchy gun?
Well, who’s the man who kills for fun?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad!
“Hello, Central Casting? Send us a cantankerous old loon.”
He’s 75, maybe his lawyer will put together a dementia defense.
Good Lord. That mustache has been holding viruses since the civil war. He could overcome.
Throw the book at the dummy hopefully.
What he did is considered a Federal Crime.
And, if he over-reacted like this, you might as well RED FLAG him too. You know they will.
He did it to himself.
But as far as randomized double-blind trials, has gunfire been tried?
Maybe he’s on to something.
Amen!
Don’t dems call this type of behavior “non-violent”?
I didn't know that it was the PARKING LOT, too!!!
