A Puna man was arrested Tuesday after he reportedly called a community association employee’s home, threatening to take a shotgun to a future meeting and shoot everyone present.
At 12:35 p.m. Tuesday, about an hour after the incident was reported, officers arrested the suspect, 56-year-old James Brent Jones of Glenwood, after his vehicle was spotted parked off Highway 11 near the 20-mile marker.
Jones was charged later Tuesday with second-degree terroristic threatening. He posted $2,000 bail and his initial court appearance is scheduled for August 25.
