Police Blotter: Black Friday Shoppers Threaten Line Cutters

Also, a man barges into another man's home in response to an ad.

Lining up for Black Friday shopping sprees can be stressful, but a few teens let their frustrations get the best of them late Thursday night.

While waiting in line at Tilly’s, a woman noticed that multiple youths were threatening to hurt other people in line. They thought their threats were justified, according to the informant, because people were cutting in front of them in line.

Tilly's had a Black Friday deal in which the first 100 customers received wristbands that were good for store credit between $10 (97 wristbands), $25 (1 wristband), $50 (1) and $100 (1).
