Local drummer arrested after death threat

Los Angles police arrested scofflaw Tyler Sabbag late Tuesday just hours after the drummer issued a frightening death threat to The Tsunami.

Sabbag, 23, a member The New Motherfuckers, told The Tsunami shortly after 8 p.m.: “i'm going to fucking kill you if you don't make me a top friend. die you stupid wave.”

After being notified by The Tsunami of the shocking comment posted to The Tsunami’s myspace.com profile, police quickly responded to Sabbag’s Alvarado Street residence and arrested the drummer.

“He was sitting on the couch eating cereal when officers kicked in the front door,” Los Angeles Police Capt. Ed Bradley said. “He was crying like a little sissy.”

According to the drummer’s roommates, Sabbag was angry at The Tsunami for publishing accounts of the drummer’s two recent embarrassing hospitalizations, one after slipping on a cantaloupe in a supermarket, and the other only two days later after contracting fleas from a vintage leather jacket.

“Tyler plays the drums, he’s not used to the spotlight,” said Geoff Geis, singer for The New Motherfuckers. “And of course The Tsunami never writes about the charitable work he does.”
