The Florida Union-Times today reported on one Grand Theft Auto player whose experience with the game led to fairly serious consequences.


Anthony S. Jones, a 27 year-old Jacksonville resident, was at home playing the game with a child he when called a co-worker at the Cross Creek Barbeque Restaurant. At one point, while on the call, he apparently told the child, "There's a bomb in the building. There's a bomb in the building. Everyone needs to get out!"

Jones has explained that he was referring to the game, but the words were taken very seriously by his co-worker, whose night manager notified police. The restaurant was evacuated and searched for explosives, though none were found.

On Monday Jones was arrested on charges of making a false report about a bomb or explosive, which counts as a second-degree felony, and carries a maximum penalty of up to 15 years jail time.

As of Tuesday, Jones is still in jail, held at $5,003 bail. His case is scheduled next month.

Please remember to practice safe gaming, kids: don't sit too close, take a break every half hour, and don't make false bomb threats in earshot of barbeque restaurants.

If that was me, as soon as I got out I'd kill that so called mate.
