A senior vice president of an Annapolis bank wielded a shotgun last month while trying to evict the tenants of a Prince Frederick restaurant, according to state police.
No one was injured Nov. 8 when CommerceFirst Bank Chief Lending Officer Thomas Bolander entered the former Jasper's American Grill with the unloaded weapon and ordered tenants to stop what they were doing and "Get the (expletive) out," court documents said.
According to police, an employee of the restaurant was able to disarm the now-former bank employee and restrain him until state troopers arrived to take control of the scene.
"I still can't believe this happened. … This was a bank official," said Fred Rosenthal, the restaurant president. "If you have a dispute, you sit down (and talk it through) … or you go to court. That is the way business should work. You don't pull a gun."

He was expressing himself like the Wal-Street protesters, so what is the big deal?
ReplyDeletePay your bills and maybe he wouldn't have come in with a gun. I'm going to guess this wasn't the first time the business was notified!
ReplyDeleteThe big deal was he was armed with a shotgun. Doesn't matter how many times the business was notified. It is wrong. Plain and simple. And he got fired for doing it, rightfully so.
ReplyDeleteAnd OWS do not walk around with weapons. The police have used THEIR WEAPONS on the protesters. And that's ok with some misguided people.
Pretty soon the police will be using their weapons on all of us. Will that be ok with some of you too?
