Harris County officials arrested a man after he threatened to kill his juvenile neighbors on Wednesday.

Constable Mark Herman's Office deputies responded to the 9000 block of Peachridge Drive in northwest Houston after receiving calls about a disturbance between neighbors. When they arrived, the person who called told officials his 13 and 17-year-old daughters got off the school bus and their neighbor, now identified as Curtis Fournier, started yelling obscenities at them.
