Police said the incident started in the 300 Block of Treva Rd., when Campbell got upset that someone parked in front of his Sandston home during what neighbors say was a community yard sale.
He then alleging jammed a tree branch through the victim’s car window, causing damage to it.
When the woman approached Campbell’s home to confront him about what she witnessed, police say Campbell brandished a shotgun to intimidate her.
Multiple neighbors say Campbell also started waving a Confederate Flag, and then picked up the shotgun and started waving that as well.
One witness tells CBS 6 she saw they whole thing from outside her front window.
“He was outside of course yelling, screaming, cussing, and just being very belligerent," said Marisa Turner. "He was waving his gun out and as soon as I saw that I went downstairs, because I said I’m not playing with this."
The female victim called for police assistance which led to the investigation resulting in Campbell’s arrest. He has been charged with brandishing a firearm and vandalism.
CBS 6 talked to the family of the Campbell, but they declined to comment on the incident at this time.
