Another EGPD officer stopped the West Warwick man and explained the second stop.

Police, meanwhile, learned the man had a warrant out for him from Nebraska for “terrorist threats.” Since the man was not cooperating, police called for backup; they were joined by Coventry PD and R.I. State Police. The person the man had called had been across the street, and as that person approached, police told them to stay back.
