LONGVIEW – A Longview teenager has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after threatening to kill his dad. Dalton Cole Shaffer, 17, was booked into the Gregg County Jail. His bond was set at $10,000.
Officers were dispatched to the 4700 block of West Marshall Avenue on a report of family violence assault. The teen’s dad said the boy came into his room demanding that his phone be given back to him. When the father refused, Shaffer is said to have raised his hand with a pencil in a threatening stabbing motion. The dad said he pushed the boy into a wall, fighting for the pencil. He then pinned him to the ground. The teen was not injured but his dad complained about a scrape on his hand.
