The man also allegedly complained of having suicidal thoughts and was threatening to kill the woman, her boyfriend and an ex-coworker who he blamed for losing his job.

It’s alleged that the man was met by police as he was at the time in his vehicle. When approached the man allegedly stepped out of his vehicle and yelled, "Did you ever kill someone already? You going kill me today, you all officers going kill me today!"

Warned to calm down, the man went back to his vehicle and drove off.

Shortly after, police allegedly received another report that the same man was behaving in a disorderly manner at his mother’s home.
