The backstory:

According to authorities, voicemails threatening to shoot up the police department were received Wednesday morning.

After the calls were received, city buildings were closed out of an abundance of caution. By 9 p.m. that day, Stacy was in custody.

Police said during his arraignment that Stacy said he did not know why he chose to call the Rockwood Police Department to make the threats, debunking speculation that the threats were related to the arrest of a Detroit high school student in Rockwood led to his deportation this week. Police said Stacy told them he allegedly made the calls after waking up from a bad dream.

No weapons were found during a search of Stacy's home, police said.

Stacy's attorney noted that he has schizophrenia but has not been taking his medication. He does not have a criminal record.
