Joey Smack and
William Hellfire were arrested for carrying real weapons on an elementary school grounds and jailed temporarily after police had obtained a copy of 'Duck! The Carbine High Massacre' off the internet. According to Hellfire in an interview, "This creep from Colorado was doing stories on Columbine since the shooting and he orchestrated the arrests just to make a news story. The FBI was involved and discouraged any action noting 'it was only a movie', but the local Ringwood police really wanted to get on TV. They were laughing and telling me not to worry that I was gonna be 'famous'. Judge laughed it out of court. We made the news for like two weeks straight. Nancy Grace made nasty faces at us. Fox News called us 'copy cat killers.'"
