Clarksville police arrested a man after he became violent at a local movie theater. The reason? Popcorn.
“According to police, officers were called to the movie theater on the 1800 block of Tiny Town Road Monday around 11:30 in the evening. Witnesses say 50-year-old Paul West was angry because the concession stand was closed and employees would not sell him popcorn. Police say West took an empty container from the trash and demanded a refill. When he was refused, he threw the container at an employee, knocked over a display, and returned to the movie.” (fox17.com)
When police arrived, it didn’t get much better. Police say the man threw a trash can at the female officer who responded to the call, punched the officer, and even tried to bite her! The man is facing multiple charges and was booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
