My messed up night

General
Warning this is going to be a long journal..
So.. I might not have a job after today.. and this is why.
Three people come into my store at about 1:10 in the AM. One looks vaguely familiar, a white male with a shaved head and hip-hop styled clothes, the other is a woman in a pink corset type dress and the other is a dark haired male. The male with a shaved head came up to the counter and asked me something in a low voice, I didn’t understand him too well but seeing as he was heading to the back of the store at first I thought he wanted the bathroom key, he then went towards the back and then came back to the counter and asked if this was the bathroom key, I said yes and he clarified that he was wanting to buy alcohol, I apologized for hearing him wrong and informed him that is was past the hour to sell alcohol and I couldn’t do so by Broomfield county law. He and the female looked disappointed and he said he had just came in from Hawaii and wanted to drink and commented about hating Colorado, I told him that there wasn’t anywhere nearby that would sell him beer as King Soopers and Wal-mart and other places abided by the same law.
The female then piped up and asked if I watched Dog The Bounty hunter, and I said yes I’ve seen it, she then gestured to the shaved headed gentleman and said “He was on it! He’s Dog’s son!” or something to that effect. Both of them ofter the next twenty minutes or so tried everything to get me to sell them a case of beer, saying they’d give me a hundred dollars or to take it to the back or to let him buy a soda and then take a beer. He said he could call law enforcement officials to vouch for him and even at one point took out his own badge and ID and held it up directly to the camera. It turns out this was Justin Bihag one of Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman’s nephews though he represented himself as Justin Chapman. He and his friends would not take no for an answer even when I said I could get arrested or find and fired for selling them the beer, he said he would bail me out if I went to jail and ‘Don’t even trip” since his ‘dad’ owned a bail bond service. I was feeling very overwhelmed by then and he asked me who my manager was, I replied and he asked me to call him and wake him up, I said that he’d only say the same thing to him that I did but I still tried to call him, much to my dismay the phone was not working.
I was out of immediate options and Justin was insistent that he get his beer, his woman friend was still chiming in that he was on ‘Dog’ and that we should just give them the beer, several times she waved Justin away and tried to convince me to give them the beer. At some point their friend must have left because there was loud honking coming from out side every few seconds trying to get them to leave I can only guess. They continued to talk to me and beg and plead and crowd the counter, and Justin was looking angry, I finally just snapped and went to go get them a case of beer and sold it to them so they would go away and leave me alone, before they did Justin left me what he said was his cell-phone number and the number to the bail bond office that we wrote as ‘Da Kline Bail Bonds’ but what really belongs to ‘Free as a Bird Bail Bonds’ after some net sleuthing, he also wrote that his name was Justin Chapman and I have the note saved.
So thats what happened, i'm putting it here as a record if I ever need it.. but if Corporate looks at the tape I will be fired, Circumstances notwithstanding. If this happens you better believe I will be contacting 'Dog' and letting him know every thing that happened. There are tapes and audio of it all, it'll come out one way or another. To use ones power as a slight celebrity and of a law enforcement official is a gross misuse of your power and to bully a lowly convenience store clerk to break the law for you is very very low indeed.
