A UCF student landed behind bars on Tuesday after allegedly pulling a Glock pistol on his roommate following an argument over borrowing a bicycle.
Abraham Avi Scott Peschitz, 22, was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office by the Suncrest housing development off of University Boulevard, a few miles from UCF main campus.
UCF spokesman Chad Binette confirmed that Peschitz is a marketing major who started at UCF in summer 2010.
According to the police report, it started when Peschitz and his roommate got into an argument when he tried borrowing Peschitz’s bicycle, but the argument got heated and Peschitz went into his room.
When he returned, his roommate said Peschitz had a Glock pistol pointed in his face, according to the report. The roommate also said in the report that Peschitz then went back into his room and the roommate heard “clicking” sounds.
That is when the roommate left and immediately called OSCO, saying that he was “in fear for his life.”
When police arrived at the residence, they could not locate Peschitz, but found a Glock 19 pistol inside of his room. The police gave the roommate a card with a case number containing contact information.
A little bit over an hour later, the roommate called OSCO and stated that Peschitz returned to the house, grabbed a backpack and left again.
OSCO located Peschitz in the area of Rouse Road and University Boulevard with $1,117 in cash, a backpack and cellphone.
Peschitz was booked in the Orange County jail on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm.
