Guest RJ1074 Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Man Hurls Phones, Causes $2K Store Damage 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. The best part "I hope my message got across." All in all, a good way to get your anger out, to bad it will cost him a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have many complaints about my Verizon service....no Sprint; my work phone is a Sprint, and I can go on and on about the constant problems with their crap (crap being a nice term for garbage cellular service).
