Tuesday, December 8, 2009 Prosecutors have filed charges against a Snohomish man accused of threatening to bomb a Seattle strip club after an employee there rejected his romantic advances.
In court documents, King County prosecutors contend Nathan D. Hulse, 29, threatened the woman after corresponding with the Seattle exotic dancer through a Web site devoted to fetishistic sex.
Hulse and the woman had become friends, prosecutors contend, but that relationship soured when Hulse made romantic advances toward her late last month. In the days that followed, Hulse allegedly posted two threatening contributions on the Web site.
In one, prosecutors contend Hulse made outlandish claims about acquiring surface-to-air missiles. According to court documents, Hulse wrote that he "recently traded with a gentleman, and have tested what he gave me, their destructive force is quite impressive." The second post directly threatened the woman, who is employed at a downtown Seattle strip club, prosecutors contend.
"Literally, the only reason I want to be good and improve the world is 'cause I have faith (she) and I will always be the best of friends," Hulse allegedly wrote. "If she chooses otherwise, she knows I will go beyond crazy. …
"I'm gonna go to (her) work tonight an(d) insist she speak with me," he allegedly added in the Nov. 24 post. "So it's entirely possible I'll just de pin my lucky grenade right then and there."
Seattle detectives were able to trace the location the posts were made from to a Snohomish home where Hulse was living, according to court documents. After officers spoke with the man's family, he surrendered to police and was taken into custody Nov. 25.
No bomb-making materials or explosives were found in a search of Hulse's residence.
Hulse has been charged with threats to bomb or injure property. He remains confined at King County Jail on $100,000 bail.
I wonder if they misheard him and he was actually talking about his surface to her missle.
