An ex-con is accused of threatening George Floyd protesters in Salt Lake City with a bow and arrow.
Brandon McCormick, 57, of Taylorville, Utah, was charged Thursday with two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, one count of aggravated assault, and one count of threatening or using a dangerous weapon in a fight or quarrel, according to reports.
The charges stem from a Floyd protest in downtown Salt Lake City Saturday.

A confrontation involving McCormick began after he drove his car into a crowd and yelled "all lives matter," Fox 13 Salt Lake City reported.
He then pulled out a bow and arrow from the back seat of his car and pointed it at several people, the station reported.
