Domino’s managers torch a Papa John’s so they’d have less competition
WHAT HEELS: Domino’s Pizza managers Bryan David Sullivan (left) and Sean Everett Davidson (right) have been charged with arson for setting a fire at a nearby Papa John’s pizzeria on October 20th so they would have less competition and increase sales at their restaurant, according to Lake City (FL) Reporter:
The men reportedly built an incendiary device consisting of a small kitchen clock, a nine-volt battery and a sandwich baggie containing a small amount of gunpowder, but did not use it to start the fire.
“They tried it out and it fizzled like a sparkler,” said [Capt. John Blanchard, a spokesman for the Lake City Police Department].
The men allegedly used an accelerant to start the fire instead. Davidson suffered burns on his arms when the accelerant, which police did not identify, ignited prematurely, Blanchard said. …
Blanchard said Domino’s officials have been very cooperative with investigators and there is no reason to believe the owner of the Domino’s had prior knowledge of the fire, Blanchard said.
