The 30-year-old Marshal and Bay Ridge resident then left, returning with a handgun and threatening the employee.

Brown was arrested nearby shortly after the incident and has been charged with reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a firearm, and second degree menacing. His handgun has been recovered by police.

The initial argument entailed the drunk and off-duty Marshall yelling at 41-year-old cashier Joanna Diaz about the long line, according to the NY Post.
