The Pepsi-Cola Co. has gotten a restraining order against a former employee who said he wanted to “take people out” at the Bronx bottling plant where he worked.
Robert Page, 51, was hospitalized for high blood sugar but wound up in the psych ward of Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly, NJ, on June 8.
At the hospital, Page told a nurse about taking “people out’’ and “that he had already done a ‘dry run’ with a loaded gun” at Pepsi’s Brush Avenue facility, according to documents in Bronx Supreme Court.
Pepsi promptly fired Page — a forklift driver for more than 15 years — and got the restraining order.
Page’s wife, Helen, 43, scoffed at the charges and said her husband didn’t own a gun.
“When your blood sugar goes that high, you get delirious, wobbly. You talk and it makes no sense,’’ she said.
