A man from Ithaca threatened multiple people with a taser over the weekend, including children. 60-year-old Donald Van Schoick is said to have approached a group of people on Floral Ave in Ithaca, while sparking a taser, disguised as a flashlight, and making threatening remarks. When authorities arrived, Van Schoick attempted to hide the taser in the wheelchair of an elderly woman, but it was quickly turned over. He has since been sent to the Tompkins County jail without bail.
