A Joshua Tree man was arrested Sunday after he threatened his neighbors with a BB gun. Deputies say that Jason Koster, 38, became angry when one of his neighbors parked in front of his mailbox about 9 p.m. in the 61900 block of Aster Place in Joshua Tree. Several neighbors said Koster got a handgun, which deputies later determined was a BB gun styled to look like a handgun, and pointed it at them. When deputies arrived, Koster ran inside his house, but they persuaded him to open the door and detained him. Jason Koster was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and brandishing a weapon, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, and was released on a $50,000 bail bond.
