Impatient Man Allegedly Assaults DMV Worker
A Las Vegas man was accused of twisting the arm of a Department of Motor Vehicles worker because he was angry he had to wait in line for 30 minutes.
Burton Howard Stein, 64, was charged with intimidating a public officer by threat or physical harm and battery with bodily harm.
