“Blood going to spill tonight!” Alabama Hooters forced to shut down over armed man’s threats
DAPHNE, Ala. (BIKER DAD)– A place known for its chicken wings and bike nights is making headlines for something else completely. The managers of an Alabama Hooters were forced to shut down when a disgruntled customer sent them some disturbing messages.
“Blood going to spill tonight,” police say, Ralph Abney, 49, wrote in an email. And the threats weren’t hollow. The email included a picture of him holding a gun. Daphne Police posted about it on their Facebook page. Hooters employees told police that Abney caused a disturbance. As a result, they asked him to leave.

He was arrested on felony terrorist threat charges. But with the revolving door in the Alabama court system, he was soon released on a $7,500 bond.
