The victim had noticed the
suspect and other juveniles playing with knives in the parking lot before
entering the store, police said. When the victim left the store, the juveniles
spat on the victim's car and words were exchanged, police said.
The incident is not believed
to be gang-related, said Peachtree City Police Chief James Murray.
"He was just trying to
be somebody and trying to act tough," Murray said, adding that the
incident "could have been deadly."
The suspect, whose name was
not released, was charged with aggravated assault and obstruction of a
police officer. The suspect, who also faces weapons charges for possession
of a switchblade knife, lives in the Sawmill Trace subdivision, police
said.
