GREENWOOD, S.C. (WYFF) - An Upstate man was arrested and charged Tuesday after deputies said he threatened a doctor with a finger gun.
The charge stems from a call that came into the sheriff’s office about 9 a.m. about a patient making a threat to harm a doctor at Lakelands Orthopedic Associates, located at 102 Gregor Mendel Circle, Graham said.
Graham said the threat was communicated after a doctor told Osborne that he could not do anything for his injury, which caused Osborne to become irate.
