Angry moviegoer allegedly tosses computer monitor

[August 08, 2008]  CASPER, Wyo. (AP) -- Police say a 55-year-old man tossed a computer monitor through a glass door after being refused a cash refund at a Casper movie theater. The man faces charges of felony property damage and disturbing the peace.

Officers responded to the Eastridge Mall's theater just after 7 p.m. Tuesday.

According to the police affidavit, the man said theater employees refused to give him his money back after something went wrong with the movie projector when he was watching "Iron Man." Instead, the employees offered him a rain check to see another movie.

Witnesses said the man started yelling and ripped the computer monitor from the ticket counter and threw it through a glass door.

Damage was estimated at $1,250.

The man was arrested and booked into Natrona County Detention Center.
