The Band Perry cancelled their Delaware concert on Sunday night after two men made serious threats on the grounds of the venue.
According to State Police Master Cpl. Gary Fournier, the men issued the shocking statements at approximately 2:55 p.m. and directed them to an employee at the Americana Bayside Welcome Center.
The performance is set to be postponed “due to heightened security concerns and for the safety of the public,” Fournier said.
Police have arrested one of the two men involved in the incident leading up to the cancellation of The Band Perry’s Delaware concert.
Selbyville resident Dzmitry N. Papou turned himself in to authorities after local media released photos of him and his companion.
Papou was charged with felony terroristic threatening and released on $20,000 unsecured bail. A no contact order with the Americana Bayside Centre was also issued against him.
The man who accompanied Papou to the event has been identified but has yet to be arrested, police confirm.
The exact statements from the two men have yet to be released by authorities.
