A disgruntled patron threatened to kill a bouncer who refused to let him into Sally’s Saloon and Eatery early Thursday morning.
When the bouncer stopped the patron who presented an expired driver’s license as proof of his age, the man began to question him in a “matter of fact” tone, according to a Minneapolis police report.
“Do you have a wife and family?” the rejected patron asked.
“No,” the bouncer replied.
“Is your address in the phone book?”
“No,” the bouncer replied.
“Do you own a gun?”
“What relevance does that have?” the bouncer queried.
“You might have to use it to defend yourself,” the patron responded.
As the patron and several companions left the bar, he turned and told the bouncer, “I’m gonna hook you up and shoot you!”
The bouncer does not intend to press charges.
