A man at Morgan Wallen‘s concert at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium was charged with a felony Friday night (Aug. 2) after threatening on social media to shoot “two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” and who were present at the event, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office in Missouri. Chiefs players Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones were seen at Arrowhead with Wallen just before the country singer took the stage that night.

The statement, which referred to the felony as a “terroristic threat,” was released Saturday by Michael Mansur, director of communication, on behalf of Jackson County’s prosecutor, Jean Peters Baker.

Billboard reached out to representatives for Wallen and the Kansas City Chiefs for comment.

Court records indicate Aaron Brown of Winchester, Illinois, was charged with committing the class E Felony of making a terrorist threat in the second degree, reporting that “the defendant knowingly caused a false belief or fear that a condition involving danger to life existed by posting on X (formerly Twitter) that he was going to shoot [names redacted].”

In court documents, the defendant was quoted as saying, “It was a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.” He claimed he had never made threats in the past on social media and stated again that “it was stupid.” His girlfriend told investigators that the alleged threat was posted, and then deleted, on a “burner” account where he’d “tweet stupid stuff.”

“The defendant was charged earlier today and a $15,000 bond was set. Prosecutors requested a $250,000 cash bond,” according to the prosecutor’s office.

Wallen’s concert on Friday, the second night of his One Night at a Time Tour at Arrowhead Stadium, was delayed by 40 minutes while the defendant was located and apprehended by law enforcement.

The country singer eventually made his show entrance alongside the Chiefs’ Kelce, Mahomes and Jones, seen hyping up the audience in the video clip below. Wallen hugged all three before kicking off his set, and Kelce was later spotted singing along to One Thing at a Time‘s “Last Night” from his suite. (Taylor Swift, who’s linked to Kelce, was not in attendance; still on the European leg of The Eras Tour, she was performing in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday and Saturday.)
