Man Threatens Bar Patrons After Being Denied Orange Juice: Police

Authorities say a man armed with scissors threatened patrons at a central New Jersey bar after he was told the establishment did not serve orange juice.

The Courier News reports that 50-year-old Edward Iannacone, of Manville, was charged with making terroristic threats and a weapons offense.

Authorities say Iannacone entered the bar Wednesday night and ordered an orange juice. When the bar owner told him the bar didn't serve orange juice, Iannacone said, "Don't ever do that to me again" and left the bar.

He allegedly returned about 30 minutes later and held a pair of five-inch scissors over his head. He then allegedly threatened to kill everyone in the bar.

Iannacone soon left the bar, but police found him nearby and he eventually was subdued by police.
