Man accused of threatening to blow up bathroom says he just needed to poop

Arthur Posey told police he needed to use the bathroom, not set off a bomb.

NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans man has been arrested for allegedly claiming he was going to “blow the bathroom." But, the guy claims it's not what you think.

Arthur Posey, 30, says he just meant he needed to poop really bad, according to NOLA.com.

Employees aren't so sure.

According to NOLA.com, one restaurant worker at the Willie's Chicken Shack told investigators Posey never mentioned a bowel movement.

And, TMZ reports employees are claiming he actually said: "Y’all about to close right now because I’m going to get a bomb and blow this place up.”

Posey was arrested on Nov. 13 and charged with two counts of communicating false information about an arson. He is expected in court later this month.
