Police arrested a 32-year-old man accused of threatening to commit a shooting at a Waste Management (WM) facility in Phoenix, a report by 3 TV/CBS 5 says. Jarrell Stephens is facing charges of creating a hoax, threats, computer
Allegedly, Stephens was previously employed by Houston-based WM and was fired.
Police responded to the facility March 7, 2017, to investigate reports of threats made against the facility through a Craigslist account. The report says the Craigslist posting threatened a mass shooting at the WM facility, which caused concern for employees and management.
July 12, the Craigslist account posted another threat that included a list of employee names, the report says.
An emergency call reporting shots fired at the facility was made the same day as the second posting but no evidence of a shooting was found.
July 13, Stephens was identified by police and arrested without incident. His bond is set at $10,000.
WM has since updated its security protocols at the facility.
