Springfield man arrested after threatening man with gun, using ethnic slur

The man told police Campbell routinely causes problems, but this time was different, as Campbell was waving a firearm in the air, the document said. Campbell could be heard threatening to use the weapon, then yelled, “you (expletive) pickaninny, I’ll blow your windows out,” according to the document.

Campbell also threatened to shoot up the man’s car while children were nearby, then ran back inside his home.

Concerned about his family’s safety the man who Campbell allegedly threatened called police.

An ethnic intimidation for aggravated menacing warrant was issued, and Campbell was arrested two days later. He was being held in the Clark County Jail Monday afternoon.
