Police on Tuesday arrested a man accused of threatening to shoot up a Washington County polling place as voters cast their ballots for the midterm elections.

Christopher Queen allegedly arrived at the South Franklin Fire Hall just before 9 a.m. and told workers he was promised a gun and money if he voted "straight party," WPXI reported.

 

Poll workers said he became angry when they told him he wasn’t registered to vote and allegedly threatened to come back shooting.

Authorities charged Queen with making terroristic threats, a felony.
