Fort Worth police have made an arrest after the Miller Brewing Company was locked down for a short time over the weekend with over 500 workers inside.

Fort Worth Police say the brewery was shut down Saturday night after they got word a man was heading toward the business and had planned to shoot his wife and her co-workers.

Police say while the lockdown was underway, the Fort Worth officials and Arlington Police coordinated with a Homeland Security Unit and found the suspect at a home in Arlington.

Arlington police showed up and arrested 39-year-old Michael Valadez for making a terroristic threat in a public place.

Detectives reported finding at least 16 guns and several boxes of ammunition at his home.
