People caught Justesen on video approaching and heckling people at the bar. “The gentleman had lost his phone and he was really upset about it, and he started making threats that if he found the person with his phone, he was gonna put a bullet in the back of his head,” said witness Anthony Robinson. He eventually got into an argument and pulled his gun out scaring people at the bar, who quickly called 911.
