LADY LAKE, Florida—A 73-year-old man from The Villages is facing charges after being accused of trespassing and threatening employees of the Lady Lake T-Mobile store that he would put a bomb in front of the store if they did not help him.
Donald Stuart Brown was trespassed from the store on Dec. 2 and returned around 11:05 a.m. Wednesday, screaming and being verbally abusive towards employees, according to the arrest affidavit. Employees called Lady Lake Police and Brown had already left when police arrived; an employee told LLPD Brown had also been causing disturbances at T-Mobile’s Leesburg store.
Around 4 p.m. the same day, LLPD responded back to the Lady Lake store in response to a false report of a bomb. Brown is alleged to have called from his T-Mobile phone shortly before 3 p.m., and told an employee, “If they did not help him, he would put a bomb in front of the store and blow his way in,” the affidavit states.
LLPD contacted Brown and told him to return to the store, where he was arrested for false report of planting a bomb and trespassing. He was transported to the Lake County Jail, where he was released on $6,000 bond.
