(AP) TAMPA Even Elmo isn't laughing about this one. A Florida man called 9-1-1 after he says another man threatened his life over an Elmo doll.
Tampa police received the call around 8 a.m. Friday, just as customers were flocking to Target to scoop up the popular T-M-X Elmo, who slaps its knee, falls over and rolls around laughing when it's tickled.
According to 9-1-1 tapes, Andrew Bell said a man dressed in all black threatened him because he took one of the last dolls. Bell said a few dolls were still on the shelves and several people were running into the story to grab them.
When the man dressed in black didn't get one, Bell says the man said he would kill him if he ever showed up at the store again. Bell says the man also had a loaded pistol.
No one has been charged in the incident.
The dolls, which cost about 35-dollars, were unveiled Tuesday. A Fisher-Price spokeswoman said the doll has received unprecedented media coverage consumers had been snatching them up. She said there is no need for panic because more dolls are on the way.
LMAO!! P.S. Sorry if this is a repost.
P.P.S. I want one.
