Detectives investigating an offence of malicious communication have arrested a man in connection with the incident.

The 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of malicious communications against the Globe Public House in Leicester.

He has since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

In August 2013 police began an investigation after threats were received towards the management at the Globe in Silver Street, Leicester following social media posts claiming the establishment was not allowing military personnel to enter the premises as it was upsetting their customers.

Hi Gary, what a vicious thing to do , these social networks like twitter, facebook etc will eventually be forced to close down because there is no monitoring and all they are is talk shops. Only Yesterday I watched an interview with the now grown up star of the J.K. Rowling Films and he said Celebrities who are members of twitter and the like are asking for trouble .
