On Wednesday at 8:10 a.m. St. Clair County Central Dispatch received several calls from Hricovsky making threats to burn down Cleveland Elementary School and shoot police officers.

Cleveland Elementary School went into a soft lockdown until police could figure out what was happening.

Dispatchers were able to connect the address the calls were made from which was an apartment in the 2700 block of Nern Street in Port Huron.

Hricovsky was found and arrested by police inside the apartment where he was visiting his girlfriend he met online. While being placed under arrest he tried to run and fight officers who were forced to use a taser.

He provided several names before officers were able to identify him using a portable fingerprint scanner provided by Michigan State Police.
