An Oklahoma City man was arrested Wednesday on a complaint of terrorism hoax for making terroristic threats. A bomb squad is searching his home on Thursday. 

According to police, Wednesday morning, an employee at social media site “MeetMe” called police to report that someone posted a threatening message to his profile. The message reads, “To all you capitalist scumbags, your greed and selfish ways have forced us to come out of the shadows and reveal our true nature. Judgment Day will come this week at the Penn Square Mall and the Outlet Mall. May Allah be with those who believe and there will be mass bloodshed and horror as I Allah will take vengeance on the scumdogs of the Western world.”

Police were able to identify that user as 28-year-old Brian Loyd Carey. He was arrested at his parents' mobile home in the 9000 block of N.W. 10th, and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on a terrorism hoax complaint. A bond has not been set.

Officers secured the perimeter of the mobile home due to the possibility of explosive devices. A bomb squad responded and cleared the home after a search waiver was obtained. 

On Thursday, a bomb squad is searching Carey's home at Ann Arbor and N.W. 10th. Ann Arbor is blocked in the area.
