“I would destroy a cheeseburger or some fries with bacon on them or something like that,” Alan Crawford told the station after he was asked if he was a threat.
Sgt. Grubbs said the Crawfords, who live across the border in Oklahoma, have a history of strange behavior. He brought up how some people may not have come forward after witnessing suspicious behavior before the San Bernardino terror attack earlier this month.
“Two weeks before this we went to the mall when we were scouting out the mall the first time, quote unquote, we ate a load of bacon cheese fries, which ISIS would happily kill me for, because I’ve read my book I’m not supposed to eat bacon and I did it anyway.”
Sgt. Daniel Grubbs of the Fort Smith Police Department told the Daily News on Tuesday that the Crawfords were acting suspiciously, and that the shoppers did the right thing by reporting them. Sgt. Grubbs said he believed the Crawfords had recently converted to Islam, and were seen in regular clothing the day after the incident.
Facebook Some people posted photos on Facebook of the Crawfords being escorted from the mall. “One of the subjects told me that she thought he was acting very strange,” read the police report filed by Fort Smith Officer Anthony Cox. “I spotted the subject walking down the hall by the food court and he was holding his phone up and he was walking as if he was video taping the mall stores.”
When Officer Cox asked Alan Crawford for identification, Crawford saidhis ID “was in his front pocket and it was against his religion to pull up his ‘Man Dress’ to get it,” according to the police report.
Officer Cox recalled how Crawford told his young son “this is why you dont trust the police” and “they harass people because of their religion.”
“I audio recorded the police officer and held my camera in the manner that would lead him to believe that I did video tape while he screamed at me and told me that ‘I can confiscate your phone,’” he told the station. “You can’t confiscate my phone for mall law. I violated mall law, OK? Which wasn’t even clearly posted.”
Back in the day my buddy wanted to get a bunch of us together, wear white sheets and go beg money as Hare Krishnas at the airport. Modern-day variation on that I guess.
