The incident happened Wednesday night. It all began when the man, identified as 61 year-old James Rummel, left one of the hotel’s restaurants without paying his bill. Rummel was then detained by hotel security.
As he was taken into custody by a security guard, the police report says that Rummel stated he was "going to blow up the building."
The security guard then said Rummel threatened to kill him if he took him to a hospital, or to the Clark County Detention Center.
In spite of those threats. Rummel was taken to CCDC. He’s scheduled to make his first court appearance next Tuesday.
