Athens-Clarke County police said they arrested a man Monday night on Park Ridge Drive after he threatened to “blow everyone up.”
William Miles Melendez, 38, had a gas can, propane, jugs of chemicals, batteries and some wiring at his home when making the threat, police said.
Police were called to the scene at 7:23 p.m. on a neighbor’s report that he had been sitting outside his home with his wife and a roommate when Melendez began yelling at him.
