Man allegedly aimed an AR-15 at a parent in a behind-the-wheel aggression incident at a Las Vegas school: documents

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man told police he was picking up his daughter from school when another driver allegedly cut him off and pointed an AR-15 at him, according to documents obtained by 8 News Now has received.

Alfred Pamintuan faces multiple charges, including two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, at Sierra Vista High School in the southwest Las Vegas Valley.

According to a criminal complaint, a parent was driving west on Robindale Road toward Cimarron Road when a black Tesla Model 3 pulled in front of him. The parent said he made eye contact with the driver, later identified as Pamintuan, who then reportedly raised a black rifle, the documents said.

Upon seeing the gun, the parent told Clark County School Police that he stopped and let Pamintuan go, and Pamintuan then “raised a loaded magazine” as he drove away, the criminal complaint states.

The parent said he followed Pamintuan, whose younger brother attended Sierra Vista High School, and took a photo of the Tesla’s license plate to show police, court documents show.

This man’s daughter reportedly skipped school the next day out of fear for her safety.

The next day, May 15, Clark County School District police officers interviewed Pamintuan’s younger brother at Sierra Vista High School. He told an officer that his brother “got upset and pulled out the black rifle, held it up and showed it to the man.”

The brother told police Pamintuan was “moody” and kept the AR-15 in his vehicle, court documents show. He said his brother is an Uber driver and picks him up every day.

The court documents also detailed how the CCSDPD concocted a “ruse” to arrest Pamintuan. Administrators reportedly called Pamintuan to pick up his brother because there had been a “verbal altercation” on campus.

When Pamintuan showed up in the parking lot of Sierra Vista High School, police initiated a vehicle stop and the school was placed on a soft lockdown.

According to court documents, a black long assault rifle with a magazine was located in plain view on the floorboard of the right front seat.

Pamintuan told police he reached into the back seat and grabbed his black rifle because he felt threatened by the parents. He denied pointing the gun at them but admitted to “showing them the magazine,” according to documents obtained by 8 News Now.

Pamintuan posted bail and was due in court on June 18.
