Dad pleads not guilty to pointing AK-47 at daughter for not getting straight A's

[azurnoir]

He had recently written in a note to the court that he had been suspended without pay from his job of 13 years with Minneapolis public schools and that he was looking for employment and a lawyer.

According to the complaint, the argument had erupted when Bartashevitch began berating his daughter for not getting straight A’s at school. The girl swore and told her father that she “hated” him.

He then pointed his new AK-47 — bought out of fear of a pending gun ban — at his daughter, and the mother intervened, only to have Bartashevitch throw the woman to the floor, the complaint alleges.

Police searched the residence and found receipts documenting that the father had sold two AK-47 assault rifles to a gun shop only days after the incident, court papers say.

Bartashevitch is slated for trial on May 28.
