William Bailey was found in the city’s municipal parking lot at about 9:40 a.m. on Wednesday, June 1, Asbury Park police said.
In the meantime, schools in Asbury Park had locked down.
Bailey had sent his mother a message saying he wanted to "shoot up a school like in Texas” — referencing last week’s mass shooting in Uvalde in which an 18-year-old man killed 19 students and two teachers.
Bailey, who had a warrant for his arrest in Plainfield, was charged with making terroristic threats. He was taken to an area hospital to be evaluated, police said.
