VIDALIA — A Ferriday man is behind bars after allegedly making threats with a gun.

Karvin Karvell Dotson, 25, 710 Texas St., was arrested Friday on charges of driving under suspension, aggravated assault with a firearm, possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The Vidalia Police received a call from an unidentified neighborhood watchperson after the person reportedly witnessed Dotson flash a gun through the windshield of the vehicle he was driving and make threatening remarks, Police Chief Ronnie G. “Tapper” Hendricks said.

The witness described the vehicle to the police, and the responding officer followed it to a residence on Walnut Street, where Dotson was arrested.

The police reportedly found a gun in the vehicle, along with a small amount of what appeared to be marijuana, Hendricks said.

Dotson was detained without bond at the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office Friday.
