FARGO, N.D. — A man who said he was fed up with his cellular phone service went to a Fargo mall and started hurling phones across a store, striking an employee and causing more than $2,000 in damage, authorities said.

Jason Perala, 22, of Fargo, told The Forum newspaper that he planned only to yell at employees at Verizon Wireless.

<!--endclickprintinclude--><!--startclickprintinclude--> "Then I just lost it," he said. "I just started grabbing computers and phones and throwing them. I just destroyed the place. ... I kind of regret that I did it, but I hope my message got across."

Police said Perala took off his shirt and put on safety glasses before throwing around computers, phones and other items.

One employee was struck in the shoulder by a phone before he and other workers dashed into an office, locked the door and called police, Sgt. Kevin Volrath said. Other businesses in the West Acres mall lowered their steel security gates during Thursday's incident.

Perala was arrested without incident and jailed on charges of felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor simple assault.

The message? That you need serious help managing your anger? Yeah, I think they got that one.

Police said Perala took off his shirt and put on safety glasses before throwing around computers, phones and other items.


Ah yes, Safety First !!11!!!111

Only around 2000 dollars worth of damage. Send that man back to the minors.

What's scary about that movie is that Michael Douglas looks just like my dad in it... and my dad is the kind of guy that could snap one day and do that...

What a load of crap. He just "lost it" - yet he brought safety glasses to a cell phone bitch session?

Don't forget he took his shirt off too to show off his 8 minute abs...

once the shirt comes off, you know he's guilty! :D

He didn't want to get saliva on his shirt or in his eyes while he yelled, so he took off his shirt and brought safety glasses.

It's no surprise that he also had his shoes...

I'm sure he brought them in case he needed them.

The name sounded too familiar. Me's think Mr. Perala was/is a member of North Dakota State's wrestling team (annually one of the top 5 programs in Div 2).

I wonder if he stretched before lifting all that shit. Also, a good cool down period with breathing exercises is the proper way to finish something like this.

Do you think he just took his shirt off or ripped it off Hogan style?

figures, if it's the same guy, he's from Minnesota.

Geese, talk about shooting the messenger. I feel bad for the employees, because most of them are probably $10/hour sales associates who have nothing to with the company being unethical bastards.

Dude... he lives in North Dakota.... you don't need steroids to be angry about that.

Nice picture sov. Looks like they are doing all transaction through the security gate now.

"Can I look at that phone?"

"That one?"

"No. The other one there."

"Which one?"

"The one next to that other one you just pointed to."

"Which one?"

"That one. Look can't you just let me in so I can look for myself?"

"I can't. You have safey glasses with you."

"These aren't safety glasses, these are regular glasses."

"Sorry sir, it looks as though you are attempting to take your shirt off. I can't let you in."

"I am not attemption to take my shirt off. It is a button up...that isn't buttoned all the way to the top. I wear these all the time."

"Sir, I can't allow you to use that tone with me. I am going to lock myself in the office and call the police."



:D

As miserable as ever. Thanks for asking.

(cap on CA all you want... I'm not from here originally, and I don't even like it here)

The Afoci? Perala? The Afoci? Perala? Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

I am so disappointed with what was done with the news story here at FOFC. 26 posts and not one mention of The Afoci. Come on people!

I'm sure he would have done more $ in damage, but he was throwing all the free phones.
