Police: Man Threatened to Kill Employees at Downtown Store

A Bradford man is in jail for allegedly threatening to kill employees at a store who wouldn't sell him cigarettes.

Bradford City police say Donald Lindemuth walked into the police station at 1:35 a.m. today and said he was angry with employees at a nearby store because they wouldn't sell him cigarettes when he couldn't show them identification.

Police say Lindemuth told the officer manning the desk that he planned to go home, get a gun and some friends and go back to the store and kill the employees.

The officer detained Lindemuth and was assisted by other officers when Lindemuth resisted arrest.

He was charged with terroristic threats, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, along with resisting arrest.
