Jenny AU-92 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I am so glad he was safety conscious!!! That is HILARIOUS!!! Link to Story Man Hurls Phones, Causes $2K Store DamageMay 14, 11:38 AM (ET) FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A man who said he was fed up with his cellular phone service went to a Fargo mall and started hurling phones across a store, striking an employee and causing more than $2,000 in damage, authorities said. Jason Perala, 22, of Fargo, told The Forum newspaper that he planned only to yell at employees at Verizon Wireless. "Then I just lost it," he said. "I just started grabbing computers and phones and throwing them. I just destroyed the place. ... I kind of regret that I did it, but I hope my message got across." Police said Perala took off his shirt and put on safety glasses before throwing around computers, phones and other items. One employee was struck in the shoulder by a phone before he and other workers dashed into an office, locked the door and called police, Sgt. Kevin Volrath said. Other businesses in the West Acres mall lowered their steel security gates during Thursday's incident. Perala was arrested without incident and jailed on charges of felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor simple assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue72 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Sounds like he's had about the same experience with Verizon's service that I've had!!!! At one time, I had four Verizon accounts and I can happily say that now I have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
