Inset: Christopher Guest (Hamilton County Jail). Background: The Snapdragon Hemp store in Red Bank, Tenn., that Christopher Guest allegedly targeted after being fired last month (Google Maps).
A disgruntled ex-employee of a Tennessee hemp shop was allegedly caught on video storming into his former workplace spewing threats — saying things like, “I don’t give a f—, I’ve been to prison, I f—ing stab people” — while tearing apart displays and trashing the store, according to police.
Christopher Guest, 38, is charged with aggravated assault, harassment, malicious mischief vandalism and computer offenses for his alleged rampage at the Snapdragon Hemp store on Dayton Boulevard in Red Bank in May. His police report, which was obtained by local ABC affiliate WTVC, outlines how he allegedly set upon the shop on May 28 after being fired over the phone due to aggressive behavior he displayed 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 says, per 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.'”
Cops say Guest told his former co-workers he was “waiting for them” — meaning employees who allegedly complained about him — to arrive at the store so he could “whoop every one of their got d— a—es,” according to the police report.
“He is seen picking up the display he knocked over and slamming it onto the ground attempting to break it,” the report says.
“He then screams to one of the employees who was trying to attempt to calm him down,” it alleges. “[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 police Guest’s alleged antics didn’t stop there, with cops saying he hacked the store’s Facebook page and posted “derogatory” pictures of the owner, along with 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 locking out Snapdragon employees from gaining access to the Facebook account.
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 what day Guest was fired, only that it came before his alleged attack and arrest.
