A man is behind bars following days of alleged threats to employees at Scheels in Sparks.
Employees at the Scheels told Sparks Police they had received multiple threatening calls from a man saying he wanted to buy five guns and if he did not get them there would be a fight or someone might get shot.
The man also said he was armed with multiple knives and weapons, according to a Sparks Police press release.
After making more than 10 phone calls over two days the man, later identified by police as Erik Felch, went to the Scheels customer service counter asking to pick up the guns.
Store security was contacted as Felch went to the firearms department of the store. Officers arrived on scene and found Felch in the firearms section.
When they arrested him, they found several pieces of merchandise on him from the store, including seven semi-automatic rifle magazines, as well as semi-automatic rifle parts for modification.
Felch was also in possession of an Individual Police Officer Kit, which contained first aid supplies for traumatic injuries, and was armed with a fixed blade knife and a folding knife.
He was detained and taken to the Washoe County Detention Facility.
Once at the jail, Felch began to resist officers while being taken inside and kicked an officer.
He was charged with making threats or conveying false information concerning acts of terrorism, obstructing and resisting, battery by a prisoner and attempted larceny.
No bail has yet been set.
