Man arrested in meat thermometer attack during "Shutter Island" screening

March 17, 2010 | 4:06 pm

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.

1. If it was a cold-blooded attack, the thermometer should prove it.

7. Good thing they acted quickly, so the trail wouldn't go cold.

3. As usual, the media says nothing

As usual, the media says nothing about the millions of responsible meat thermometer owners who didn't stab someone in the neck at the movies.

4. meat thermometers are used to check the temperature rise or drops..

of furnaces and air conditioners. It'd make sense that he'd have one but why he'd have it with him at a movie screening escapes me.

5. It turns out he was really a mental patient the whole time.

Not really that big of a surprise, when you think about it.

9. Huh?

Where does it say that?

[Yeahyeah]

6. he didn't smell bacon til his goose was cooked.
