Man Threatens To Blow Up Store When Video Game Not In Stock

Employees at a Best Buy in Aurora, Colorado said a man threatened to blow up the store after he learned a video game he had pre-ordered was not in stock. The man walked into the Best Buy just after midnight in the 3500 block of N. Salida Court near Interstate 70 and Tower Road.

"The last store I called was the Best Buy by my house and they said okay, we have three copies, two are on reserve and one is here available," said Lomon Sar. "She charged the card, it was $108… She put my name on the box."

Police said Sar, 31, went to pick up the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 he said he pre-ordered earlier in the day. When he arrived, it wasn’t there and he became irate and angry at the customer service desk.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 was released at midnight Tuesday.

Police said he asked employees when they were leaving the store and said that he intended to shoot them in the parking lot as they were leaving work. He also allegedly made another statement that involved blowing up the store.

Sar was issued a summons for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and trespassing.

"Investigating officers issued a criminal summons to a man who threatened to carry out his own version of modern warfare at the electronics store. Fortunately, this situation did not end in violence," said Aurora Police Detective Bob Friel.
