El Dorado police received informatio­n Sunday about what is believed to be a threatenin­g message that was written in a restroom stall at Walmart Supercente­r, 2730 N. West Avenue.

Officers responded at 9:30 a.m. to the department store in reference to the incident.

Employees led police to the ladies restroom in the back of the store where the words, “People Die Here Soon” were written inside a stall in what appeared to be red lipstick.

In another stall, police said they found a black tube, which was confirmed to be red Cover Girl lipstick, floating in the commode.

Employees were not able to provide any

Bond was set at $5,000 Monday for an El Dorado man who appeared in 35th Judicial District Court on a felony charge of first-degree terroristi­c threatenin­g.

McKinley C. Green, 59, of the 700 block of West 19th, was arrested Sunday after officers responded to a report of a domestic disturbanc­e at the 19th Street residence.

Green’s wife told police that Green yelled at her “to order him a pizza,” noting that he had been drinking alcoholic beverages.

The complainan­t said that when she asked Green not to speak to her in that manner, the argument escalated and he issued a terroristi­c threat against her and her family, noting that he made the threat while she was speaking with on the phone with 911 dispatcher­s.

Police said Green appeared intoxicate­d and he refused officers’ requested to identify himself, instead asking officers for their names. They said Green also called them profane names as they were taking him into custody.
