PHOENIX -- A Tempe man planned a Super Bowl massacre in response to the city of Tempe's denial of his application for a liquor license, the FBI said.

Kurt Havelock, 35, turned himself in to Tempe police Sunday night.

The Tempe City Council denied Havelock's application for a liquor license in October, after learning he planned to call his Halloween-themed restaurant "Drunkenstein's" instead of "The Haunted Castle." Havelock applied for the license using "The Haunted Castle" as the restaurant's name, then wrote in an online forum that the "city council wouldn't approve of Drunkenstein's, which will be the actual name above the bar," Council records show.

According to an FBI affidavit, Havelock told police he bought an AR-15 rifle from the Scottsdale Gun Club because he was "distraught" over the denial.

Havelock wrote an eight-page manifesto detailing his reasons for planning an attack at the Super Bowl and mailed eight copies of the document from a post office in Glendale, according to the affidavit.

In the manifesto, Havelock wrote that he originally planned to attack crowds at the Desert Ridge Marketplace in north Phoenix, but changed his mind because "'scum' and 'villainy' reside in Scottsdale," the affidavit shows. Havelock wanted instead to "shed the blood of the innocent," according to the affidavit.

"Perhaps the blood of the inculpable will cause a paradigm shift," Havelock allegedly wrote.

"Alas, this all boils down to an econopolitical confrontation," the manifesto reads. "I cannot outvote, outspend, outtax, or outincarcerate my enemies. But for a brief moment I can outgun them."

Havelock continued, "And all because you took my right to work, to own a business from me. No one destroys my dream."

According to the affidavit, Havelock told the FBI he hoped his manifesto would ignite some type of political and social change.

An avid horror fan, Havelock is a former member of the International Order of Horror Professionals and named his interests on an Internet forum as "Finding the strength not to kill myself and take you all with me!"

Havelock is charged with mailing threatening communications and was jailed without bond, the East Valley Tribune reported.
