One arrest has been made after The Band Perry cancelled their concert in Selbyville, Delaware over the weekend due to security threats.
One of the men making the threatening comments at the Americana Bayside Welcome Center where the band was supposed to perform has been charged, reported Ace Showbiz.
35-year-old Selbyville resident Dzmitry N Papou turned himself in on Monday night, July 4 after police released photos of him and another suspect.
Papou was charged with felony terroristic threatening and ordered to make no contact with the Americana Bayside. He has since been released on a USD 20,000 unsecured bail.
The second man making the threats has also been identified but he hasn't been arrested. Investigation is still ongoing.
The comments that the two men made were not shared to public, but they're alarming enough that the Band Perry called off their gig only a few minutes before opening act Melissa Alesi was to take the stage.
"Due to heightened security concerns, and for the safety of our fans, the show has been rescheduled for August 17. While we are sad we don't get to see you tonight, we love you and consider your wellbeing and security our top priority. We'll see you soon," the band said in a statement.
