Florida man armed with Twisted Tea & metal pipe threatens former employer

 

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office is making things clear: When you threaten your former employer with a deadly weapon, you get arrested.

Shane Gillis is accused of threatening to injure his ex-employer. When deputies arrived to detain Gillis, they overheard him tell the victim that he “had something” for them and was on his way.

Gillis was holding a Twisted Tea can in his right hand, which is considered a deadly weapon on the streets. He kept his left hand behind his back as he walked towards the victim.

When deputies stopped Gillis, he told them that he had a metal pipe tucked into the back of his jeans.

As Gillis was being handcuffed, he continued to threaten the victim. He was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

The metal pipe in Gillis’ jeans was about 28 inches of solid metal.

Did the Twisted Tea make him do it, or was Gillis going to do it with the Twisted Tea, CCSO may never know.
