Job interviews can be very stressful. For this one man, i guess the stress got to him. An Indiana man threatened to blow up a restaurant at his job interview! This is hilarious and sad at the same damn time *Future voice*. Click the jump to see the details.
Raymond Freeman who showed up at a local restaurant for a job interview was arrested on a felony intimidation charge after he refused to leave when he was suspected of taking another applicant’s cell phone and threatened to kill everyone and blow the place up, according to a police report.
At 2:25 p.m. Monday, Portage police were called to Carlisle Restaurants, 1877 Center St., because Raymond Freeman, 19, of the 4000 block of Buchanan Street, refused to leave and was threatening to kill people in the business office, the police report said.
An office employee, who police said was visibly shaken by the incident, told police Lewis was filling out pre-employment paperwork when another applicant doing the same left her cell phone behind, the report said. When she called back to see if her phone was in the lobby, another employee asked Freeman if he’d seen it and he took it out of his pants pocket, the report said.
The office employee decided Freeman couldn’t go through the rest of the employment process because she felt he was dishonest and would not be trustworthy handling money, the report said. When the employee told Freeman, he refused to leave, the report said.
The employee let Freeman use a phone to call for a ride and heard him make three or four calls, cursing and using profane language. She asked several times for him to leave and, according to police, he became angrier the longer he remained at the office and at one point threatened to blow up the building.
The employee asked him another time to leave and he refused and said he wanted to “come back there and kill everybody here,” the police report said.
Freeman told police he put the cell phone in his pocket with the intention of giving it back later. He denied making verbal threats and said he left the business lobby as soon as he was requested to do so, the report said.
Freeman faces a felony charge of intimidation and a misdemeanor theft charge. He also received a warning for trespassing.
Police transported Freeman to Porter County Jail.
