Copyright 2018 CNN Officials say Christopher Queen, 48, was arrested Tuesday after threatening to "shoot up" a polling location in western Pennsylvania when election volunteers told him he wasn't registered to vote there.
(CNN) - The polling place at the South Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department in western Pennsylvania opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
About an hour later, Christopher Queen walked through the doors.

Officials said Queen, 48, became angry and said he was "going to get a gun, then return and 'shoot up' this polling station." The threat was heard by numerous poll workers, frightening them and causing "public inconvenience, annoyance, and ... alarm," according to a report from Pennsylvania State Police.
Queen quickly left the scene, but was later taken into custody without incident a few miles away from the polling location, the police report said.
"It's believed that [Queen] has some mental health issues," Broadwater said.
Queen was arraigned Tuesday on charges of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. He remains in custody, unable to post bail of $10,000, according to court documents. It is not yet known whether Queen has retained an attorney.
Queen has a criminal history that includes charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment, according to court records. He is due back in court on November 19.
