A Los Angeles man faces multiple charges after he allegedly threatened an employee at a Victorville 7-Eleven and displayed his gun in the process.

Eric Lavell Taylor, 66, entered the store in the 15700 block of Roy Rogers Drive at about 6:30 p.m.. Wednesday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

Employees at the 7-Eleven told Taylor he was not allowed inside and was trespassing, but he “refused to leave and made his way around the store,” the release said.

He then “threatened to shoot up the location and the victim,” authorities added.

He was arrested on multiple charges:

  • Making criminal threats

  • Exhibiting a firearm in a public place

  • Petty theft

  • Being a felon in possession of a firearm

  • Possessing ammunition as a prohibited person

Taylor is being held at the West Valley Detention Center in lieu of $150,000 bail, according to jail records.

He’s due to appear in Victorville Superior Court on Friday.
