The L.A. County Sheriff's Department has arrested a suspect in the case of a moviegoer who was attacked with a meat thermometer during a screening of "Shutter Island" at a Lancaster theater last month. The victim was stabbed after complaining about someone nearby talking on a cellphone.

Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the suspect, Landry Boullard, 39, was taken into custody at 2 p.m. Wednesday at a home in the 800 block of East Avenue H-6 in Lancaster.

Detectives got an anonymous tip that led them to the home where the suspect was staying, Whitmore said.

Boullard was booked on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held on $1-million bail. Boullard is studying to be an air conditioning and refrigeration specialist, Whitmore said.

The Cinemark 22 was packed for a 9 p.m. Saturday screening of the Martin Scorsese thriller when the victim complained about a woman near him who was using a cellphone during the show. She and two men with her left the movie theater. Two men returned a few minutes later and stabbed the victim, Whitmore said.

The victim, who was not identified, was hospitalized with serious injuries Two other moviegoers who came to the victim's aid were also were hurt during the attack, officials said.

It's a shame no one had the presence of mind to bring their guns to the movie theater.

I really do not understand this kind of attack though. Presumably there is more to the story than the fact that the person was talking on the phone. There must have been some kind of altercation, though it is really hard to understand how it escalated into a violent attack particularly as they first left the theater, presumably to 'fetch a weapon'. Terrible really.

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the original thread....and since this is new information, I thought I'd post it.

Ah sorry my bad. I assumed it was just a repost of the original story.

I'm somewhat preoccupied with other things at the moment, and VJ doesn't have my full attention. Inexcusable, I know, but real life is interfering with what's truly important.

Talking on a cell phone during a movie? Savage!
