IMMOKALEE, Fla. — An Immokalee man was arrested after he repeatedly threatened to shoot multiple people at the Seminole Casino.

A member of the Seminole Police Department was on patrol around the Casino around 10:30 p.m. on April 9th. There was a resounding commotion from the Casino Car Valet Window, all appearing to be instigated by 43-year-old Morris Burgess.

Burgess was screaming at a Valet attendant, all while holding a black nylon backpack. His hand was steadily waiting inside the sack.

“I am going to shoot you,” could clearly be heard coming from Burgess as he continually alluded to the notion that he had a firearm inside his bag.

As the officer initiated his involvement, the attendant took off and ran into the entrance of the Casino. Burgess kept a close pace while keeping his hand inside the receptacle.

Once inside, Moris turned his aggression towards another victim and again insinuated that he had a gun in his backpack.

Fellow officers were able to make their way to the entrance and secured Burgess in handcuffs, believing he would act upon his threats. However, a search of his backpack yielded no results for a gun.

Despite lacking a firearm, Burgess was arrested for two counts of aggravated assault and one count of resisting arrest. He was transported to the Collier County Jail without incident.
