KANSAS CITY, Mo. Police say a southwest Missouri man who confessed to plotting to shoot up a screening of "Twilight" and a Walmart store had been detained after threatening a store clerk three years ago.
Bolivar Police Chief Steve Hamilton said Saturday that in 2009, 20-year-old Blaec Lammers followed a worker around a Walmart and threatened her. He wasn't charged but was committed for 96 hours.
In Missouri, hospitals, law enforcement and citizens can request a person be held against their will for up to 96 hours if he or she appears to be a threat to themselves or others.
Lammers was charged Friday with first-degree assault, making a terroristic threat and armed criminal action. His mother turned him in. He is jailed in Polk County.
Hamilton says Lammers doesn't have an attorney.

...... Oh hold on! That's the way it is now (i.e. gun shows).
Thanks N.R.A.. How many people have to die before the N.R.A. and 99% of Conservatives begin to understand that guns are dangerous and not toys for everyone to play with?
We got lucky this time.
The N.R.A. should be held liable for every murder committed with a gun because it's the N.R.A.'s mission to make it as easy as possible for ANYONE to get a gun.
N.R.A.'s Commandments:
Those shalt shoot first and ask questions later.
Thou canst kill.
Thous shalt use guns as toys Jesus-Billy-Joe_Bob.
God needs two first names. We all have at least two first names down here in gun land right Billy-Ray?
He's 20 today, which made him 17 in 2009 - not 20. So he was becoming psychotic as a minor. Further proof that the MH process is woefully mishandling this problem.
Thank goodness Mom didn't cover up for her little under-21 darling this time.
