Just hours after Slam went off the air reports are coming in that during the show their was a disturbance at the entrance to the Acer Arena. Acer Arena Security responded to the calls for help by ticket takers who were doing their best to keep a belligerent man from entering the arena after he was denied access for not having a ticket. When security officials arrived the man did his best to fight them off before giving up on his quest to get into the arena and running back out into the parking lot. Police arrived at the scene moments later and a search was conducted but no one has yet to be brought in. Police are currently asking the public to call and let them see if they spot anyone matching the description of an older gentlemen, possibly in his mid to late fifties, with white hair that is balding on top. The suspect was seen wearing an over sized tan trench coat, black loafers and eyeglasses with thick black frames. The man is not considered armed but reports from the ticket takers who originally encountered the man suggest that his mental state may not be well.
"When he first came in he seemed very calm and friendly, even gave us this courteous smile and said hello. But then, as soon as we stopped him from going through the turnstiles without giving us a ticket, he began screaming at the top of the lungs about how he had to get into the arena. That we were all in terrible danger if he couldn't get in there and stop him from killing everyone. We tried our best to calm him but then he began swinging his arms in the air as he tried to push past us. It took myself and two other employees to hold him back as a fourth person radioed security. All the while he just kept screaming about "him" and how he had to save everyone. It was all just really odd and scary. Finally security showed up and as soon as he saw them coming he pushed off all three of us and turned and ran for the door, screaming out "you'll be sorry when he gets you". We all followed him out into the parking lot but he ended up disappearing between cars."
Police are insisting that the public take any and all precautions if they see a man matching the description just in case he would become hostile once again. Please make sure you call your local police immediately and do not try to take matters into your own hands.
