GORST – A Bremerton man who allegedly threatened car dealership staff with death was arrested by Sheriff’s deputies and charged with felony harassment.

According to a Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office report, Mark Eugene Salzwedel, 55, of Bremerton, went into the Peninsula Subaru dealership in Gorst Aug. 3 at 11 a.m. and was acting in an odd manner. His behavior was so concerning that he was given $20 to leave the business.

Salzwedel returned to the business at 7:21 p.m. riding his motorcycle that he wanted to sell. He allegedly went into an office, slammed his hands on a desk and exclaimed, “OK, who wants to die first? I’ve got a Glock in my bag.”

He told them he needed a car. He pulled out a single bullet from his pocket and showed it to workers there. Staff then called 911, and deputies arrested Salzwedel.

Eight .22 caliber rounds of ammunition were found in Salzwedel’s pockets, the report stated.

Salzwedel allowed deputies to search his truck and they found an unloaded .22 nine-shot revolver under the drivers seat.

Salzwedel told deputies he was only joking when he spoke to the dealership staff.
