Web posting causes scare YouTube video promoting upcoming movie under police investigation By Liz McMahanPhoenix Staff Writer ShIronbutterfly Ray, one of the Bare Bones Festival directors, said she wasn’t aware of the You Tube video until Thursday and it had been removed before she saw it. She did not think it would adversely affect the festival and the movie is scheduled to be shown at 6 p.m. April 25.
Muskogee Police took the scare of the perceived threat in the movie trailer seriously. “We take everything seriously,” said Brad Holt, police community relations officer. “It’s no different than a child playing on a telephone and dialing 911. They may do it repeatedly, four or five times at the same address. Even though the dispatcher knows it’s a child, we still have to check that out because there’s that one chance in a million it’s the real deal.” Muskogee resident Edna Phelps said she had taken the video as a serious threat. She already had planned for her children to stay home from school April 25. “It scared me to death,” she said. “That person ought to be punished.” Muskogee Police Lt. Bert Poole said a decision likely will be made today as to whether investigators will pursue charges. Reach Liz McMahan at 918-684-2926 orClick Here to Send Email
