MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – A man accused of pulling out a rifle and threatening to shoot people Friday morning at the Walmart in Moncks Corner is in custody.
According to the Moncks Corner Police Department, Terrence Lenard Middleton, 53, of Charlotte, North Carolina was arrested by the Charlotte – Mecklenburg Police Department on Friday night. He is currently awaiting extradition back to Berkeley County where he will face charges for pointing and presenting a firearm.
On Friday, Nov. 27, Moncks Corner police said Middleton walked into the store to purchase a hunting/fishing license, but when his credit card declined, he became disgruntled and went to his car and threatened to shoot people.
Police said when Middleton got to his car, which was parked outside the store, he grabbed a rifle.
Police said Middleton removed the rifle from his car and approached the store while still making verbal threats; however, police said he never re-entered the store. Instead, he returned to his vehicle and sped away in a black Honda Accord.
Middleton was arrested hours later in his home state. According to inmate records at the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office in Charlotte, Middleton is no stranger to the law.
In July 2020, records show he was charged with violating a domestic violence protection order.
