WJAC reports that police arrested 52 year old Ryan Hollingsworth after he allegedly threatened to kill the owner of McGarvey’s bar in Juniata. The report states that Hollingswoth told police that the owner had stolen a winning lottery ticket from several years ago, and the owner used that money to buy the bar. Hollingsworth is alleged to have demanded 30% of the bars profits, or he was going to “blow the owners head off”. Police say that when they visited Hollingsworth at home, he told them he simply went into the bar to give the owner a business card. A bartender witnessed the threat and told police. Hollingsworth is in the Blair County jail charged with making terroristic threats and extortion.
