STAFFORD, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- A New Jersey ex-con caught on video yelling at a Costco cashier last month was arrested on Wednesday for making terroristic threats, officials said.
Police identified the man seen in the now-viral video "berating, threatening, and causing a scene inside the store on July 29, 2020," as 48-year-old William Gilbert Commauf, authorities said in a statement.
He was arrested on charges of terroristic threats, harassment and disorderly conduct, police said.
"Shut up and ring up my stuff," Commauf yells at the cashier in the video. "Shut your mouth and ring up my stuff. Shut up — do your job."
Commauf also said he would "smack" the employee's husband around and calls her an "old hag."
The video also shows Commauf threatening to "knock out" another person not seen on the clip.
Previously Commauf served time in prison in New York state for robbery and escape, in Texas for felony theft and was convicted in North Carolina in 2004 for assaulting a woman three years earlier, a crime for which he received probation and a suspended sentence, according to the Asbury Park Press.
In New Jersey, Commauf was convicted of shoplifting from a Hobby Lobby store in Holmdel year and also convicted of shoplifting twice in Woodbridge in 2018, including one incident at a Hobby Lobby, the report adds.
