Aggravated assault. As a 32-year-old Ormond Beach man was leaving a local gas station, he was confronted by an unknown man who began yelling "fight me" at the resident and offered him $100 to get out of his car and do so.
According to a police report, the resident tried to leave and the man blocked him in with his vehicle. The resident told police the man then threatened to shoot him, and that as the man walked back to his car, he feared the man was going to retrieve a firearm.
