An Oak Park man was arraigned this week on multiple felony charges after allegedly making threats against his parents, law enforcement officers, and the public, and issuing a false bomb report, Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced.
Michael Samuel Weisman, 32, pleaded not guilty on Jan. 7, 2026, to three felony counts of making criminal threats, one felony count of maliciously reporting a false bomb, and two felony counts of attempting to prevent an executive officer from performing official duties. He also faces misdemeanor charges of elder abuse and falsely reporting an emergency.
Prosecutors have also alleged aggravating factors, including that the crimes involved great violence and that the victims were particularly vulnerable.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, the charges stem from incidents that occurred on Dec. 5, 2025, when Weisman allegedly made multiple threats to harm himself, his parents, responding sheriff’s deputies, and members of the public.
Authorities said he threatened to kill his parents and law enforcement officers by striking them with his vehicle and further threatened to use the vehicle to injure innocent civilians.
Weisman is also accused of issuing a bomb threat against a business in Thousand Oaks that was open and occupied at the time, prompting concerns for the safety of employees and customers.
After making the threats, Weisman allegedly fled the area in his vehicle before being located at a shopping center in the Agoura area, where he was detained and taken into custody.
The case is being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Heather Sweatman of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office General Trials Unit.
Weisman is scheduled to appear for an early disposition conference on Feb. 6, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. in courtroom 37 of the Ventura County Superior Court. He has been released on bond and remains out of custody.
The court has ordered Weisman to stay away from the business he allegedly threatened, as well as all schools within the Conejo Valley Unified School District and the Oak Park Unified School District. His driver’s license has also been revoked.
