Bruce Clark, 66, asked his sister on Jan. 5 to pick up dentures made for him at his dentist’s office, police say. His sister was told she couldn’t pick up dentures for another patient. Mr. Clark’s sister then put Mr. Clark on the phone with the dental office.
“During the conversation [Clark] was belligerent and used foul language,” the arresting officer reported, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Mr. Clark allegedly threatened to “shoot up” employees of the dental practice.
Mr. Clark was booked at a local jail Jan. 31 on the felony charge of threatening violence with a firearm.
