BENTON COUNTY, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Bentonville man was arrested after allegedly putting threatening lyrics in his music, which he claims is part of a rap persona.

Reese Alexander Sullivan, 20, was arrested on Nov. 2 for first-degree terroristic threatening.

A probable cause affidavit says that on Aug. 21, the FBI National Threat Operations Center received a tip from an anonymous person who claimed Sullivan was making concerning statements, including bomb threats and referring to acts of violence.

The affidavit says that the lyrics of Sullivan’s music contained numerous threats of violence across multiple uploads. The threats included statements about school shootings, bombing public events and shooting children.
