Police: Man Threatens Officers, Theater Employees After Trying to Get In to Movie for Free

A man previously convicted of making threats is again charged after he allegedly tried to go into an Apple Valley movie theater without buying a ticket, told an employee he would write libelous things on the Internet about him and threatened to kill police.

Perry Walter Kalkenbrenner, 44, who police say is homeless, is charged in Dakota County with three felony counts of making terroristic threats; the charges hold a maximum combined penalty of 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.

According to the complaint, were called to the movie theater after Kalkenbrenner allegedly tried to get in without a ticket—a common occurrence that theater employees said they usually ignored so as not to cause trouble.

One employee told police that this time, Kalkenbrenner allegedly said he would create a fake Facebook profile and accuse the employee of being a pedophile, the complaint says, which upset the employee.

The theater manager said Kalkenbrenner then began to call employees racist and continued to yell, the complaint says.

Police arrested Kalkenbrenner in a nearby parking lot. He allegedly threatened multiple times to have someone kill the officers and that he wished they would die, according to the complaint.

Kalkenbrenner has three prior convictions for making terroristic threats, the complaint says, and has criminal history in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Florida.
