Local law enforcement officials arrested a lady in connection with threatening remarks made to a Celebration employee in the ticket office Friday afternoon. The lady threatened to “execute” the ticket office staffer repeatedly if her requests were not granted.

After arresting the lady, materials were found in her car leading officers to consider her a suspect in the death threat received by The Celebration earlier this summer. She is being held for 72 hours for evaluation while the investigation continues.
