(AP) — A man is in custody after police said he called in “terroristic threats” to a south Louisiana hospital.
KLFY-TV reports 53-year-old Elwin Leboeuf Jr., of Thibodaux, was arrested Thursday.
Police say Thibodaux Regional Health System was put under lockdown as a precaution and authorities were notified.
Authorities didn't say what kind of threats Leboeuf allegedly made.
Police said they later learned that Leboeuf was possibly headed to the hospital and a detective intercepted him.
A later search of Leboeuf’s truck uncovered a firearm.
Leboeuf is being held on a $50,000 bond. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
