Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were the targets of violent threats made by a man who was arrested at a Morgan Wallen concert.
A man was arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce at Morgan Wallen's concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Friday night.
Aaron Brown of Winchester, Illinois, has been charged with a felony after he allegedly threatened on social media to shoot the Super Bowl champions at the concert, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced in a press release issued on Saturday.
Brown is facing a possible Class E felony of Making a Terrorist Threat in the 2nd Degree, if convicted.
"Kansas City police detectives and intelligence analysts in the Kansas City Fusion Center [at Arrowhead Stadium] were monitoring threats at a planned concert when they observed on X (Twitter) a threat against two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization, [who] were present at the event," the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office said in their press release. "The defendant confirmed to police where he was located at Arrowhead. The concert was delayed for 40 minutes while the defendant was located."
Brown was charged on Saturday and a bond was set for $15,000.
Brown reportedly told the arresting officers that his alleged social media post was "a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake," TMZ reports.
The arrest comes nearly six months after the mass shooting at the Super Bowl LVIII victory parade in Kansas City, which left one dead and 33 others injured.
Meanwhile, when it came time for Wallen's concert to begin after the delay, the "Whiskey Glasses" country crooner walked out of his green room at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday flanked by Mahomes, Kelce and Chris Jones. The quarterback, tight end and defensive tackle looked pumped as they hyped up Wallen's entrance from the bowels of the stadium to the concert stage.
Wallen donned a custom Chiefs No. 7 jersey complete with his last name on the back. While some have been quick to note the singer entered the stadium wearing controversial Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's jersey number, it should be noted that the 31-year-old "Up Down" singer often wears No. 7 jerseys at his concerts, as he wore No. 7 when he played baseball at Gibbs High School in Corryton, Tennessee.
In fact, when ET caught up with Wallen in 2023 for a special concert on the baseball field he used to play, the scoreboard welcomed him with "Batter 7" on the field's new scoreboard, which also paid homage to his then-new album, One Thing at a Time.
