Man Irate That Escalator to Health Club Out of Order

Salt Lake City, UT--

A Sandy man was removed by police from a local health club today when he attacked workers there because the escalator leading to the club was broken.

Jacob Johnson, 36, repeatedly shouted obscenities and threw pamphlets at the front desk workers when they refused to refund his monthly parking pass when he complained about the escalator not working.

"He kept saying that he was paying thousands of dollars a year for an exclusive club and that we owed him a refund for a broken escalator," Heidi Christiansen, a Total Health & Fitness employee said. "He said, 'Just give me the damn money so I can do my Stairmaster workout and go home.'"

When asked for comment when being taken away, Johnson said, "I have to park a mile away and then have to take the stairs to get in; I don't have time for that crap."
