Text: Corporal David E. Ford of the Chesterfield County Police Department responded to the call for service at the call center. Corporal Ford interviewed Wilson, who stated that Larry Borneisen “was upset because of some correspondence he had received from Capital One and some phone calls about a delinquent account of his; that he had made some statements that—to the effect of he knew where Glen Allen was located and that he would come up there and blow 1 Another customer call was automatically forwarded to Wilson after she terminated the call with Borneisen, but she reported the incident to her supervisor promptly after that next call. 4 Case: 11-15337 Date Filed: 09/18/2012 Page: 5 of 19 the place up.” Corporal Ford told Wilson that it was important that she recall Borneisen’s words as accurately as she could, and Wilson “repeated that statement to [Corporal Ford] again, and then she stated that she . . . could not say that was his words word-for-word but that that was what he said.” Corporal Ford prepared a detailed report of his investigation. In his report, Corporal Ford stated that he asked Wilson why Borneisen would mention Capital One’s office in Glen Allen, Virginia, when the call center where she worked was in Chester, Virginia. Wilson responded that the Glen Allen office was listed on all letter correspondence that Borneisen would have received from Capital One. Wilson believed that Borneisen did not realize that he was speaking to an employee at a different location. At the request of his police department, Corporal Ford relayed the results of his investigation to Special Agent Eric Morefield, a bomb technician at a Richmond, Virginia field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”). Corporal Ford testified that no one at Capital One ever requested that Borneisen be arrested or prosecuted, and no one at Capital One requested Corporal Ford to contact the FBI. In fact, after completing his initial investigation, the only contact that Corporal Ford had with Capital One was when Capital One contacted him 5 Case: 11-15337 Date Filed: 09/18/2012 Page: 6 of 19 several days later to inform him that the phone call between Borneisen and Wilson had not been recorded.
