According to police, a disgruntled ex-employee of a Tennessee hemp shop was allegedly caught on video storming into his former workplace, tearing apart displays and trashing the store while spewing threats such as, “I don’t give a f—, I’ve been to prison, I f—ing stab people”
Christopher Guest, 38, faces charges of aggravated assault, harassment, malicious mischief vandalism, and computer crimes stemming from an alleged rampage at the Snapdragon Hemp store on Dayton Boulevard in Red Bank in May. His police report, obtained by local ABC affiliate WTVC, details how he allegedly stormed the shop on May 28 after being fired over the phone for aggressive behavior toward other employees while working there.
“Police witnessed Guest storming in and immediately knocking over a display that contained several bottles of beverage on it,” the report states, according to WTVC. “Then he states to people in the store, ‘They fired my a—, for walking around here saying I’m going to kill people, I’m going to kill myself.'”
According to the police report, Guest told his former coworkers that he was “waiting for them” — the employees who allegedly complained about him — to arrive at the store so he could “whoop every one of their got d— a—es.”
“He is seen picking up the display he knocked over and slamming it onto the ground attempting to break it,” according to the investigation.
“He then screams to one of the employees who was trying to attempt to calm him down,” they claim. “[Guest] yells, ‘I’m going to stab that motherf—er’ and then walks to the camera with both middle fingers up screaming, ‘Pull the cameras now you stupid f—, I’m going to f—ing hunt you down.'”
The owner of the hemp shop told cops that Guest’s alleged antics did not stop there, as he hacked the store’s Facebook page and posted “derogatory” pictures of the owner, as well as his home address and photos.
“[The owner] stated that there was a post of a man being gunned down with his face and full name on that photo, along with the saying, ‘See what you made me do’ next to it,” the police report says, accusing Guest of preventing Snapdragon employees from gaining access to the Facebook page.
Snapdragon’s owner allegedly told police that “multiple customers, employees, and even managers had complained about [Guest] being disrespectful and picking fights with them,” according to WTVC. It’s unclear when Guest was fired, but it happened before his alleged attack and arrest.
