Hyperbolic Facebook Rant Earns Roseville Employee a Suspension

An employee of the Roseville-based brewing wholesaler returned to work today after being suspended for an online rant Roseville Police labeled a “terroristic threat.”

According to a police report, in early July, Northern Brewer CEO Chris Farley was alarmed by a Facebook post made by an employee:

oh poop sauce. just when you thought things couldn't get worse. don't understand why people only care for themselves and only care that they are benefiting. I guess its going back to the mid evil times. kill everything that move and have no regrets. time to suit up the armor and grab the blade. look out when the blood stains starts flowing or just grab a glass and enjoy glory

Farley notified his human resource director, Autumn Amadou-Blegen, who interviewed the employee and said the workergave “several responses that are inconsistent,” according to a police report.

Amadou-Blegen requested a police report “in case something happens,” but later told police that after going through an employee evaluation, the man was deemed “not a threat” and permitted to resume work. The police report said the employee was scheduled to return to work today (Tuesday).

In a Tuesday afternoon phone conversation with Roseville Patch, the employee said, "I don't want to talk about it."
