Perfume Miscommunication
To quote from a briefing by a local police department in Ontario, Canada:
Belleville Police received information from a male that a female had “threatened him with a gun” at a restaurant on Bell Blvd on June 3rd 2023 about 5:30pm. No weapon was actually observed.
Officers attended and spoke to an intoxicated male outside the restaurant who told police that he liked the perfume a female was wearing and attempted to communicate with her. According to the male, the female replied that she had a gun.
When officers spoke to the female, she provided a VERY different account of the events. She explained that her perfume was called “JULIETTE HAS A GUN”. Police were able to confirm her story with restaurant staff and a quick Google search.
The incident was resolved peacefully and police ensured the male arrived home safely following the incident.
