Police said they are treating a phone call late Sunday to Cross Creek Barbecue Restaurant in the 12100 block of Lem Turner Road as a legitimate bomb threat.

But Anthony S. Jones, 27, of the 500 block of Chestnut Drive, said he was at a friend's house and playing the game Grand Theft Auto with a child. At one point in the violence-filled game, Jones told police he warned the other player: "There's a bomb in the building. There's a bomb in the building. Everyone needs to get out!"

He made the comments while talking on the phone with a co-worker at the restaurant, where he was a cook.

The co-worker heard the warning, considered it a serious threat and became scared, police said.

The night manager called police.
