LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, April 12th, 2015
We've all heard the adage of how it's illegal to shout fire in a theatre. Well now someone has actually been charged with it. A 33 year old man has been arrested and is being charged with causing a public disturbance and false reporting of an emergency after reportedly yelling "I have a fire" inside the Century Orleans 18 theatre during a showing of Fast & Furious 7. The man is currently being held by Las Vegas Police and is currently awaiting bail.
People who were in the theatre at the time this incident took place tell a tale that may seem to be completely innocent. Witnesses have told this publication that a group of men were sitting in the theatre just before the movie started, and were playing with their phones. According to eyewitness account, when one of them asked, "What kind of phone do you have?", one of them replied "An iPhone," another "An Andriod," and the suspect replied "I have a Fire." Apparently somebody overheard this conversation and panicked at the sound of somebody saying "I have a fire" in a theatre.
The suspect in this case has yet to be identified and is expected to bail out later today.
