STAMFORD — a 57-year-old Stamford man was arrested after he allegedly threatened someone with his gun on Wednesday.

Clinton Baxter, of Harbor Drive, was charged with second-degree threatening.

According to police, a person crossing Summer Street near Main Street around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday said Baxter almost struck him with his black Mercedes-Benz. The man went up to Baxter and told him to slow down.

Baxter allegedly pulled a small black handgun out of the car, pointed it at the man, and said he would shoot him if he did not get out of the road.

Police said Baxter then drove away, but not before the man took a photo of his license plate.

Officers went to Baxter’s residence, where they arrested him. They checked his car, but did not find a gun. However, they did discover that Baxter has several guns registered in his name.
