Brandishing his semi-automatic rifle at a group of black men who’d simply parked near his home was enough for a white guy in Virginia to get busted by cops.
This wild incident was caught on camera Sunday in Partlow, VA, where Dennis Lee Berry allegedly approached a squad of motorcycle riders who pulled over near his home to catch their breath and re-route.
One of the bike riders says Mr. Berry sprung up on them with an AR-15 cocked and seemingly loaded … asking if they lived there, and then demanding they leave.
Some of the interaction was captured on video … the men (4 of whom are black) tried talking him down, and questioning why he seemed so ready to shoot. They also pointed out they didn’t appear to be on his property.
Welp, after some back and forth — without any bullets flying — the cops showed up and sorted things out. Berry was arrested for brandishing a firearm. He was released on bond, and the rifle was seized as evidence.
According to the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office — which responded to the call — the bikers had, in fact, pulled into a private neighborhood … but acknowledge the men didn’t see a “No Trespassing” sign when they did it.
The cops also say Berry approached them from his property, but it’s unclear if the men were on Berry’s land.
