Two Managers At A Florida Domino’s Charged For Burning Down Papa John’s Because It Was Too Much Competition

By on October 31, 2011 in News

Okay, It’s official, Florida people are crazy!

The battle for pizza supremacy has surely taken a wrong turn in Florida. Two managers of a Domino’s Pizza restaurant in Lake City, in north-central Florida, have been charged with burning down a rival Papa John’s location. The motive? Police say one of the men admitted that he believed with his competitor out of the way, more pizza lovers would flock to his restaurant.

The Papa John’s was gutted in the Oct. 20 fire. Sean Everett Davidson, 23, and Bryan David Sullivan, 22 were arrested Thursday and Friday, respectively, and booked on an arson charge each and were being held in jail. The Star-Banner of Ocala reports that police are still looking for an ignition device that the men claimed they made but did not use to start the fire. Police said the suspects described a device made out of a clack, a nine-volt battery, a golf ball-size amount of black gunpowder and a plastic bag, the newspaper reported.
