Armed Process Server Threatens Teen

BREA — An argument between a process server and a 17-year old boy is being investigated after the process server is alleged to have pointed a gun at the juvenile, police said.

Process servers typically deliver legal documents to individuals involved in court cases, Sgt. Bill Smyser said.

The argument took place 8:30 p.m. Saturday in the Hollydale Mobile Home Park on Carbon Canyon Road, when the agent was serving papers at a residence there, Smyser.

The process server, who was not a law enforcement official, pointed a handgun at the juvenile and then left. The juvenile called police, Symser said.

Police don't yet know why the agent was serving papers at the location.

"Nobody is in custody at this point," Smyser said. "They are working on it and trying to put the pieces together... I don't know if the papers were ever served or whether he was trying to serve the owner."
