I don't think it's a battery issue because I just replaced it with an optima battery.
I finally got the engine to start by turning the key and pressing the gas pedal.
On a side note. Now that this has happened. I'm listening to the engine and it sounds like faint pop corn noises.
EDIT
just got the car back, dealership can't replicate the problem WTF!?

I'm sort of confused. You said you "heard the starter motor cranking but the engine wouldn't turn over". If the starter motor is cranking but the engine wouldn't turn over, that would indicate that the starter is not engaging the flywheel or the flywheel has a tooth missing.
Did you mean that the engine would crank over but not fire .. ??
Even though your battery is new, maybe it isn't getting re-charged by the alternator....?? Here is a simple test:
