Man Arrested After Threatening to 'Shoot Up' Pennsylvania Polling Place

A man who allegedly threatened to "shoot up" a polling place in Washington County, Pennsylvania Tuesday morning has been arrested, authorities say. 

According to the criminal complaint, Christopher Thomas Queen, 48, went to the South Franklin Volunteer Fire Department social hall to vote, but was told he was not registered to vote in that area. 

Queen allegedly became angry, and told workers that he was going to go get a gun and "shoot up" the polling place, and then left. 

Pittsburgh Patch reports that Queen told workers at the polling place that he had been promised money and a gun if he voted "straight-party ticket." 

Authorities were able to quickly locate Queen and take him into custody. He's currently facing charges of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.
