He doesn't know if it's fake or real. 65, it's confirmed it's a fake grenade. Made by the landlord. He carries it all the time. Copy, confirmed fake by landlord, carries it all the time. I have that gentleman exiting the building. He's walking out. He just walked out of the front of the house. He's on Galbraith Road now. 95, if he threatened it and implied that it was an active grenade, we can get the threats. There is a criminal offense for that. I believe it actually will be felony. Thank you.
