A Louisiana man with colorful scribbles all over his face was arrested after allegedly threatening to blow up an Ulta Beauty store in Alabama, leading to the entire store getting evacuated.
The incident began Oct. 19 in an Opelika, Alabama, shopping center when Timothy Lincoln, 42, of Buras, Louisiana, was reportedly overheard making the violent threat while on a phone call outside of the store, as reported by WRBL News.
An employee of the beauty store reportedly heard Lincoln yell on the phone, "I'm going to blow this s*** up!"
The worker reported the statement to Opelika police which led to Lincoln's arrest, WRBL News reported.
Upon Lincoln's arrest, his mugshot revealed unusual colorful markings on his face. Authorities have not clarified the scribbles' significance.
Following the arrest, Lincoln is facing charges related to making a first-degree terrorist threat, which is a Class C felony in Alabama. He has also been banned from the Ulta store.
If convicted, Lincoln could face up to 10 years in prison. He is currently being held at the Lee County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
