Clarkston man in custody for making threats

arrest-made

Authorities have taken a Clarkston man into custody for allegedly making threats of shooting up an elementary school and county parade.

According to the Lewiston Tribune, 36-year-old Trevor Lunney, who was arrested Monday evening by Clarkston police, is being held on a $200,000 bond at the Asotin County Jail. He is charged with harassment, threats to kill and threats to bomb or injure property.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Lunney has made several statements about wanting to commit mass murder to the state Department of Corrections, law enforcement and Quality Behavioral Health.

In addition, he has reportedly talked about having a five-year plan, opening fire at a future fair parade and livestreaming it, becoming an active shooter at an elementary school and his desire to commit suicide.

Lunney reportedly told police he is concerned about his mental health and realizes his urges to commit mass murders aren’t right, but he still has them. Lunney also said that’s why he was seeking help and went to Tri-State Memorial Hospital.

Because of nationwide events and mass shootings, police reportedly told Lunney his statements cannot be taken lightly. According to the affidavit, previous documented and observed behavior show there is a “reasonable fear” that those threatened acts would be carried out by the defendant. (Lewiston Tribune)
