On September 22, 2022, Daniel McGuire, 61, was arrested and charged with a felony after what the victim’s attorney, Christian Contreras referred to as “a reign of terror.”

One of the victims, Jonathan Alvarez was speaking in Spanish when he indicated to reporters that he was scared, saying, “He threatened my life.”

The incident was captured on cell phone video footage. In defense of his clients, Contreras said, “He didn’t physically touch them or physically harm them, he definitely put them through significant turmoil through his aggressive conduct, through his aggressive acts, and he was saying very vulgar things.”
