Police received seven calls about Thomas Lane before they caught up to him Sunday afternoon.

The Indialantic man had been walking around the Starbucks location near State Road A1A and U.S. 192 yelling obscenities and calling himself the "saint," according to arrest reports.

Lane paced the busy beachside shopping plaza, telling people his "turtle army will destroy them" and that "they would all see what would happen in an hour."

What happened was the 61-year-old was arrested just before 2 p.m. and charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest without violence and misusing 911.

Before his arrest, Lane went to the Indialantic Police Department and yelled at the 911 dispatcher, pounding on the walls and windows, according to his arrest affidavit.

You "need to leave now or you will all be sorry you [expletive] with the saint," Lane told responding officers when they caught up to him at the Fifth Avenue 7-Eleven.

He was taken to the Brevard County Jail Complex and has since been released on bail.
