A man in attendance at Morgan Wallen’s Friday night concert in Missouri has been arrested after allegedly making a “terrorist threat” against two Kansas City Chiefs players, Fox News Digital can confirm.

Wallen, who is currently on his One Night At A Time World Tour, was playing a show at the reigning Super Bowl champions’ field, Arrowhead Stadium.

The user’s contact information was extracted by law enforcement, who were able to reach Brown directly. After initially not cooperating, Brown allegedly told officers what part of the stadium he was seated in. Law enforcement discovered Brown and his girlfriend “walking away from the section to the main hallway of the floor level,” before placing Brown on an “investigative hold for terroristic events.”

According to the report written by Detective Sarah Lewey of the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department, Brown was read his Miranda Rights before he allegedly told officers that the situation “was a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake,” and that he was “freaked out” by law enforcement’s interest in him.
