An Illinois man was arrested for making a “terroristic threat” to shoot two members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization during Morgan Wallen’s concert at Arrowhead Stadium — where the country crooner was joined by team stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, authorities said.
Aaron Brown, of Winchester, made the threat on social media before Wallen’s show, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said.
While the two individuals were not identified by authorities, Chiefs quarterback Mahomes and tight end Kelce were in attendance and joined the country star on stage.
Kansas City police were monitoring threats at Arrowhead on Friday night when they observed the threat from X account “Gooey Bag (respectfully)” against the two NFL players who “were present at the event.”
The threat, which was redacted in charging documents, read: “Mr. [redacted] at Arrowhead with the wife. If he brings out [redacted] or [redacted] I’ll take the f–kin shot. F–k em!”
“Also f–k you bitch!! (hand emoji with middle finger up twice) @[redacted],” he added, according to the complaint.
Patrick Mahomes’ pregnant wife, Brittany Mahomes, was also present at the show.
Police tracked down Brown’s information through his X account and called his cellphone. He voluntarily told police he was at the stadium and told them which section he was sitting in and officers eventually tracked down him and his girlfriend.
When confronted with the tweet, he told police, “it was a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.”
The threat delayed the concert for about 40 minutes, officials said.
Brown was charged with making a terrorist threat in the 2nd degree. His bond was set at $15,000.
Wallen, Kelce and Mahomes walked out on stage together, videos from the concert showed.
Wallen donned a No. 7 Kansas City Chiefs jersey — his high school baseball number — which is worn by team kicker Harrison Butker.
Butker came under fire earlier this year for making misogynistic comments.
