Man pulls gun on girl at his door to sell cookies

Police say a man was arrested after pulling a gun on a girl selling cookies door-to-door.

"It's a strange case," Riverside County Deputy Alberto Martinez told the New York Daily News. "Luckily the dad was there and called police and we were able to arrest him."

Several media accounts, including CBS Los Angeles, said the victim was a Girl Scout, but the New York Daily News quoted Martinez as saying the girl was not a Girl Scout.
