U.S. Marshals Service agent brandished gun while drunk

A 27-year-old agent with the U.S. Marshals Service was arrested this week in downtown Burbank after authorities said he, while intoxicated, brandished a handgun at a man.

Andrew LeConte allegedly was holding his gun when he approached the man early Wednesday in the 300 block of East Santa Anita Avenue and asked him to follow, said Burbank Police Lt. Eddie Ruiz.

The man, who was working on his SUV, followed LeConte for a short distance before running away, the Burbank Leader reported.

Pulling out of storage and driving it to circulate the fluids.

I wonder what the guy was doing to his SUV?

So, what are your thoughts on the article, care to discuss them with me?

Remember, to replace badly worn tires after alignment, because the wear pattern can mislead you to think the tires were not aligned properly. I put 2 new ones on this week, after alignment, and the van handles like a VW bug!
