A man has been arrested for posting a “terroristic threat” at a Morgan Wallen concert on Friday (August 2).
Just before the country singer was due to take to the stage, Aaron Brown threatened on social media to shoot “two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” at the concert.
Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones were just some high-profile Chiefs players seen attending the concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The threat delayed the Wallen concert by 40 minutes, as Brown was located and eventually apprehended by police. He was then charged with a class E felony of making a “terroristic threat” in the second degree. A $15,000 bond was reportedly set, with prosecutors requesting a $250,000 cash bond, according to their office.
In court documents, Brown was quoted as saying the X post was “a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake”, claiming he had never made threats on social media before. His girlfriend also reportedly told investigators that the alleged threat was posted and deleted on a “burner” account where he’d “tweet stupid stuff.”
Representatives for Wallen and the Kansas City Chiefs have not yet responded to requests for comment by the media.
Last July, Wallen was hit by a fan’s phone during a live show. The country star was playing a show at Denver’s Mile High Stadium last week when someone threw an iPhone onto the stage from the pit. The phone hit Wallen on the arm and landed his feet, but he barely flinched. He picked it up, tossed it to the side and carried on singing without missing a beat.

Sabrina Carpenter has secured a restraining order against a man accused of repeatedly trying to gain access to her home.
William Applegate, 31, has been instructed to stay away from the "Espresso" singer for the next five years after allegedly attempting to enter her property on numerous occasions, reportedly more than a dozen times, according to AP. Carpenter's lawyer, Blair Berk, told the court that the pop star was "in fear for her own personal safety and the safety of members of her family" because of Applegate's repeated efforts to reach her Los Angeles residence.
Court documents filed by Carpenter state that Applegate was taken into custody after allegedly assaulting a security guard while approaching the front entrance of her home. When he returned a few days later, the singer successfully obtained a temporary restraining order on May 29.
Applegate acknowledged the incidents involving the property but insisted that Carpenter had wanted him to come to her house. He claimed that he and the singer were involved in a secret military operation that required them to "be together as soon as possible".
He further argued that their meeting was necessary for "national and global security". However, he said he would be "more than willing" to stay away from Carpenter if she personally asked him to do so, alleging that law enforcement and those representing her were preventing direct communication.
In legal papers challenging the restraining order, Applegate alleged that Carpenter attempted to send him a message during her headlining appearance at Coachella by making eye contact with him from the audience. Carpenter, however, described Applegate as "a complete stranger" in her filing and said she has never had any contact with him and has no desire to do so.
Addressing Applegate during the hearing, Judge David L. Wasserman said: "I understand that it's your belief that in order to save the world, you and the petitioner must be together. I expect you to obey the order, not what you think is right, not what you think the military commands you."
