A COMPUTER GAMER has been banged up after he caused a security crisis for police at a local restaurant in North Jacksonville.
Anthony Jones was playing Grand Theft Auto with a child and decided to call a mate in a local restaurant.
After the friend answered Jones got to a crucial bit in the game, got a bit excited and uttered the words "There's a bomb in the building. There's a bomb in the building. Everyone needs to get out!" and hung up to continue the game.
A worker heard the warning, considered it a serious threat and became scared and called the police. The restaurant was evacuated and searched for explosives.
Police were able to use a call-return feature to determine where the call had been placed. The house belonged to a friend of Jones, who said Jones had been playing the video game and had used his phone.
However, the cops were not amused at the story. Jones was immediately arrested and could face up to 15 years for faking a false bomb report.
