A Morgan Wallen concert attendee was arrested in Missouri on Friday after he allegedly threatened on social media to shoot Kansas City Chiefs players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

The concert attendee, identified as Aaron Brown of Winchester, Illinois, has been charged with a felony for making “terrorist threats” against “two individuals who are members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” at Wallen’s concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Friday night, according to a press release from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.

The prosecutor’s office did not name the two Chiefs players in its statement.

However, before Wallen took the stage that night, the country music artist was spotted at the stadium with quarterback Kelce, quarterback Mahomes and defensive lineman Chris Jones.

Kansas City police detectives and intelligence analysts monitoring Friday’s concert found a post on X, formerly Twitter, threatening to “shoot” two Chiefs players.

Court documents, obtained by Billboard, state that the threat was posted under the X account @gooeybag, although that account appears to have been shut down since the incident.

User @gooeybag wrote that if Wallen “brings out [redacted] or [redacted] According to the document, “I’m going to shoot this damn shot.”

The concert was delayed for 40 minutes while Kansas City police found and arrested the suspect, according to the prosecutor’s office.

After being taken into custody, Brown was charged with a Class E felony count of second-degree terroristic threatening. Prosecutors requested $250,000 bail, but only $15,000 was set.

In an investigative interview, Brown’s girlfriend revealed that he and his friends often used the “burner” account to “tweet stupid stuff.”

She clarified that Brown supports a rival NFL team and sent the tweet while en route to Kansas City to attend Wallen’s concert.

Brown and his girlfriend began receiving calls and text messages on their phones from police while they were at the concert, telling them they needed to talk.

After being arrested at the show, Brown — who has no previous criminal record — admitted to investigators that posting the threat was a “stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.”

He also said that he had never threatened anyone on social media before and he did not understand why he did it.
