Fort Worth and Arlington police teamed up over the weekend to arrest a man they say threatened to kill his wife and her co-workers.
Fort Worth police got a call Saturday around 8 p.m. that 39-year-old Michael Valadez was possibly on his way to the Miller Brewing facility at 7001 South Freeway after threatening to shoot his wife and her co-workers, according to a police press release.
The facility, where more than 500 people were working, was immediately put into lockdown while police searched for Valadez.
Fort Worth police’s homeland security unit tracked Valadez to a residence in Arlington, where he was arrested by Arlington police without incident, according to the Fort Worth police news release.
Police said they found 16 guns and boxes of ammunition after searching the home.
Valadez was booked into Fort Worth city jail and faces a felony charge of making terroristic threats.
On Monday, he was being held in the Tarrant County Jail with bond set at $7,500, according to jail records.
“We’re grateful for the quick action to ensure the safety of our people,” said Adam Collins, a spokesperson for Miller’s parent company Molson Coors in an email to the Star-Telegram.
