Daniel Taugher, 41, rode his bike to the service center and went inside to complain about the price of his bill, Local 4 reported. Police said he started shouting threats while in the lobby.

Taugher (pictured, left) said he was going to blow up the building and told employees he would kill everyone inside, according to police. Detectives believe he was under the influence of alcohol.

Taugher left the service center, but later returned to the area.

Police said they took him into custody when they found him at a nearby field, interrupting some youth athletic games.

Comcast released the following statement on Friday in response to the threats: "At Comcast, the safety of our customers and employees is of utmost importance. We are cooperating fully with St. Clair Shores Police as they investigate this matter."

Taugher is being held on a $200,000 bond and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
