One of the victims told deputies he threatened them after she had her car towed to the yard on Joe Johns Road.

Four people who work at the yard told deputies that Carter cocked the shotgun and threatened to kill them if they did not leave.

One coworker told deputies that Carter has mood swings and has threatened violence in the past.

Deputies said Carter was slurring his speech and smelled like alcohol when they spoke with him.

He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

His bond was set at $75,000.
