Man charged with KLBJ threat
Austin police have arrested a man they say walked into KLBJ studios Tuesday afternoon, displayed a gun and threatened to “go postal,” police Lt. Cedric Hudson said.
Police have charged Rocky Perez Lopez, 51, with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Bail had not been set late Tuesday.
Lopez, who Hudson said was a former Department of Public Safety officer, is accused of walking into KLBJ’s offices, at 8309 N. Interstate 35, about 2:30 p.m. and displaying a gun while speaking with a producer there, Hudson said.
The gun was in his waistband, Hudson said.
After threatening the producer, Lopez walked out, Hudson said. On his way out, he left his name and papers with his name on them, Hudson said.
Hudson said police later tracked Lopez down to a home in the 9300 block of Queenswood Drive in South Austin and arrested him.
