Local man arrested after allegedly threatening RMV employees

BEVERLY, Mass. -- A local man is accused of allegedly threatening to kill people at the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Gary Woodbury, 52, allegedly told the employees at the RMV in Beverly that he would shoot them after he was denied a state issued ID Wednesday.

Woodbury says that he never threatened to shoot them and that this all a big misunderstanding. Woodbury also says that he does not own a gun nor has he ever applied for one.

"I told them their employer should line them all up and teach them how to do their job instead of shooting people out the door," Woodbury said.

Woodbury was arrested and is facing two counts of threatening to commit murder.
