A Westbury man pleaded not guilty in court on Monday after being charged over a shots-fired incident on the Wantagh State Parkway on Sunday.
No one was injured in the shooting incident, which occurred at 10:52 a.m. at the stop sign on the W2 East Exit ramp of the southbound parkway, leading to Old Country Road in Westbury, according to State Trooper Brittany Burton, a public information officer for state police Troop L.
The alleged shooter, Timothy Bohr, was involved in a “verbal altercation” with someone before he brandished a black handgun and fired a single round “in the direction of the victim” and “in close proximity to residential houses” according to a complaint submitted to First District Court in Hempstead.
Bohr, 50, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree menacing, state police said.
The Westbury man pleaded not guilty to both counts, according to court records.
He was released without bail but the Nassau County District Attorney's Office said Judge Lisa A. LoCurto ordered that any pistol permit or license Bohr might hold be revoked and he surrender any guns he has to Nassau police until the case is resolved.
Christopher Devane, listed as Bohr’s defense attorney, could not be immediately reached for comment Monday afternoon.
