A white couple from Clarkston, Michigan, was arrested and charged with a felony after a video shows the woman pointing a gun at a Black mother and her two daughters.
Things quickly escalate after Eric Wuestenberg begins to reverse the vehicle out of the parking spot.
"You gonna f---ing hit me," the mother yells. Both groups begin arguing and the video shows Jillian Wuestenberg get out of the car and point a gun at the mother.The video ends with Jillian Wuestenberg getting back into the car and the couple driving away. The footage does not show what led up to the altercation but Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said that it began when one group bumped into the other.
"There was a bump as they entered and exit. The one person said they didn't realize they had bumped the person with the food bag and the other person felt they needed to get an apology and it escalated from there," the sheriff said at a news conference Thursday. Jillian Wuestenberg and her husband, who are concealed pistol license holders, told deputies that they feared for their lives after threatening comments were directed at them, according to the sheriff's office press release.The Wuestenbergs were arraigned on the charges Thursday and each was given a $50,000 personal bond. As part of the bond conditions, they have to surrender all firearms and are prohibited from leaving the state. It's not clear if they have obtained attorneys.
Eric Wuestenberg was an employee at Oakland University. The school said in a statement Friday to NBC News that it found"his behavior unacceptable" and he has since been fired.
