He is accused of making the threats on social media, but the Danville Police Department would not be more specific Monday.

The department believes Womack may be suffering from mental health issues but would not go into detail.

"We had some information as we were working this case that led us to believe the threats were legitimate, so we made a charge," said Lt. Mike Wallace. "Specifics, I'm not going to go into because the investigation is still underway. Could be further charges, may not be."

Womack is scheduled to have a bond hearing in General District Court on April 26.
