The former employee went to the building June 2 to return his equipment and pick up his last paycheck. While he was there, his former supervisor asked him about a leatherman tool that had not been returned, reports stated.

The man then became angry with the supervisor and said he would go buy a new tool. He added that when he returned, he would show his supervisor "what fists were for," reports stated.

The man later called to talk to his former supervisor, who had left the building. As the man talked to a student employee on the phone, he said he would still "spank his ass,"referring to the supervisor.

The suspect later returned to the observatory and turned in a leatherman wrapped in napkins. When an employee asked why the tool was wrapped in napkins, the man said it was because there was urine on it, and he then left the area, reports stated.

The supervisor did not want to press charges, but he wanted to document the incident.
