A Galloway Township man was arrested for allegedly harassing Pleasantville Public Works employees while they were on the job earlier this month.
Officers were called to the 100 block of North Main Street at about 9:30 a.m. Aug. 2 for a report of harassment, Capt. Stacey Schlachter said.
The employees told police that a man driving south on Main Street stopped his vehicle and began to threaten to kill the worker, “while using a barrage of obscenities and racial epithets,” according to the report.
Detective Jeffery Raine investigated and identified the suspect at Brian Scherer, 45.
Scherer was arrested Tuesday and charged with third-degree terroristic threats and second-degree bias intimidation.
He was being sent to the Atlantic County Justice Facility pending a detention hearing.
NOTE: The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office allows the release of mugshots only in the case of a conviction or if a suspect is wanted.
