SPD said officers were sent to the nightclub in the 1500 block of Broadway on Sunday at 9:20 p.m. after the man asked an employee about the cover fee and reportedly got upset.
The man allegedly made statements about “shooting up the club.” The employee told officers the man then allegedly threw objects at him.
A witness also told police the man talked about “shooting up the club” and punched an employee before leaving.
Seattle nightlife officers then tracked the man to Broadway and East John Street, where he was arrested, according to SPD.
