An East Cobb man is being held without bond for threatening to shoot the manager of a Roswell Road sports bar, according to an arrest warrant.
Andrew Bradley Thompson, of Sheila Lane, has been charged with a felony count of aggravated assault and misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and loiter prowl, according to his Cobb County Adult Detention Center booking report.
The report said that he was taken into custody on Jan. 3. The warrant states that around 3:30 a.m. that day, he went to the Mazzy’s Sports Bar and Grill at 2217 Roswell in a Land Rover and threatened to shoot the restaurant manager.
The restaurant had been closed for several hours at the time of the incident, according to the warrant.
Police said Thompson said to “watch out for a red dot” while pointing a laser at the restaurant entrance with the intent to invoke fear of a firearm.”
Officers found a 12-gauge shotgun inside his vehicle and two shotgun shells they believe Thompson left at the front doors on purpose, “for the purpose of intimidating the employees of the establishment and warning them of imminent danger, which he intended to cause,” according to the warrant.
The warrant further states that police conducted an alcohol search on Thompson in his vehicle and “detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath.”
The suspect also “had glassy bloodshot eyes and slurred speech,” according to an officer’s description in the warrant and Thompson said he suffered from PTSD.
Officers determined he wasn’t safe to operate the vehicle, the warrant said, and Thompson was taken into custody,
