CARY, NC – A North Carolina man was arrested for the second time within 24 hours for threats he allegedly made against children. The suspect, Kevin Douglas, was picked up by police in relation to charges of threatening to “murder every child” in a nearby daycare center.
Authorities located Douglas at the Extended Stay America following threats of a mass shooting against minors. The Cary Police Department received warnings of the threats from the National Center for Miissing and Exploited Children.
Douglas was arrested for the threats, then he was released on a $1,000 bond.
Once released, he contacted his local news station and explained that the threats were all a “misunderstanding.” In a statement to the reporter, Douglas said he felt the FBI was trying to “pin” the communications on him.
The call to the news reporters was apparently a violation of conditions of his release, which stated he was not to use his phone for any reason. Presumably, this was the reason for his second arrest.
