Police: Man makes unusual statement about murder at Oakmont Bakery

Police are investigating an unusual comment made at Oakmont Bakery last Thursday.

“A customer came in and went up to one of our counter girls and said, ‘Seems like a good day for a murder," Oakmont Bakery manager Michael Sullivan said.

Workers told police the man was making small talk about the weather before making the unusual remark around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. He bought something from another cashier and left the store immediately after.

Two hours later, police said they were called by a woman who saw a similar looking man yelling on a sidewalk nearby.

“He was kind of causing a disturbance,” Oakmont Police Chief Dave DiSanti said. “She believed he had something in his hand, possibly a weapon. So, there could be a correlation between the two, which we are looking in to.”

Sullivan said no one was directly threatened or injured and he doesn’t want customers worrying about their safety.

“There wasn’t a direct threat,” Sullivan said. “I think it was just somebody with a weird sense of humor.”

Authorities said the man was in his late 50s and stands about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He had gray hair and facial hair.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police.
