MACON, Ga. – An alleged gang member has been charged with making terroristic threats after he refused to leave a Robins FCU branch Wednesday and threatened to shoot employees on a return trip.
Joseph Fields, 21, was turned down for a loan about 11:30 a.m. and in response, Fields said he intended to return to the branch and “pick off” several employees using a .45-caliber Glock handgun, according to police. He refused to leave the credit union after twice being asked to do so by a manager.
When a police officer arrived, he found Fields, a member of the local Folk gang, wearing all black clothing, including a black bandanna “gang flag” hanging from his back pocket. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and was screaming profanity.
While in custody, Fields told police he planned to return to the credit union with his “homies” and shoot employees if he didn’t receive his money, police reported.
