Kaunas prosecutor's son accused of firearm threat, assault

A Kaunas prosecutor's son faces serious charges, including illegal possession of a firearm and causing bodily harm, with his trial set to begin. The 38-year-old man is accused of threatening a teenager with what appeared to be a firearm after becoming enraged by noise from motorbikes in September.

The incident reportedly took place in a parking lot in Raudondvaris village, Kaunas district. According to police, the man approached a teenager, born in 2009, and threatened to shoot him with an object resembling a firearm. Authorities apprehended the man and initially reported finding a firearm replica. However, the case has expanded beyond the initial public order and illegal weapon possession charges.

Further allegations surfaced that the accused also caused bodily harm to a close relative or family member. Reports suggest he assaulted his live-in partner while intoxicated in December. Despite these accusations, the man reportedly denies all charges against him.

Kaunas Regional Prosecutor's Office confirmed the case has been transferred to court for trial. A spokesperson stated that further details about the factual circumstances and evidence would not be provided while the judicial process is ongoing. The situation has drawn attention due to the accused's familial connection to a prosecutor in Kaunas.

Since the case has been transferred to court and is currently being heard in judicial proceedings, more detailed information about the factual circumstances of the events and the data in the case is not being provided.
