Best Buy service technicians can now add "being held hostage at gunpoint" to their list of potential on-the-job hazards.

A Florida technician for the electronics retailer found himself working under the aforementioned condition on May 27.  The man had been to Marlene Anne Bagnall's residence several times during the week to try to fix a broken television. But when he was unable to repair the item during his last visit and attempted to leave, the woman produced a loaded .38-caliber handgun.

According to an incident report from the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, Bagnall, 44, pointed the firearm at the man and said, "You're not leaving until the TV is fixed."

The man pleaded with Bagnall and told her he would contact his office and have a new television set installed in her home. As the man dialed his cellphone, the woman told him she would kill him and herself if he called police, the report said.

Bagnall let the technician go after confirming with a Best Buy employee on the phone that she would receive a new set. After leaving the house, the man called the sheriff's office.

The woman admitted to deputies that she had been upset because of the broken television and that she retrieved the gun from her car. But she denied pointing it at her alleged hostage. Bagnall's husband later told authorities that his wife suffered from bipolar disorder and was on medication.

Deputies charged the woman with aggravated assault and unlawful imprisonment.
