A waiter in Florida was so enraged over getting rejected by a woman — who is gay — that he threatened to blow up her house, authorities said.

Nicholas Kevin Chew was arrested at his home in the Florida Keys on Saturday after failing to convince responding deputies that the alleged threat was nothing more than a bad joke, the Miami Herald reports.

“I will blow your f–king house up,” Chew, 41, texted the woman, according to a police report obtained by the newspaper.

Chew sent the hostile, threatening message after the woman — who told police she’s a friend of Chew’s girlfriend who has known him for several years — rejected his sexual advances, police said.

The 37-year-old woman told deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office at an American Legion veterans post in Marathon that she was too afraid to go home after Chew’s threat, leaving her frightened and in shock.

Chew, in turn, told police that the woman had been threatening his relationship. But a transcript of a text message exchange between Chew and the woman shows that Chew asked her to have sex with him behind his girlfriend’s back.

“You do know I’m gay, right?” the woman responded to Chew’s request.

Chew’s threat to blow up the woman’s house came about two hours later, according to deputies. He was later arrested on a felony charge of suspicion of committing written threats to kill or do bodily injury, the Herald reports.
