A Louisiana man who threatened that blow an Ulta Beauty store in Alabama was arrested, according to WRBL.

Timothy Lincoln, 42, allegedly made a phone call outside an Ulta Beauty on Saturday morning. During the call, he told the person he was talking to “I’m going to blow this crap up!

A store employee outside would have heard him. Customers and employees inside were evacuate and the police were called. It is unclear from the complaint whether Lincoln ever entered the store.

When police arrived at the scene, Lincoln was arrested. The Opelika Police Department searched the area for explosives but found nothing.

The photograph of Lincoln is striking; his beard is dyed blue and his face is covered in colored markings. The markings do not appear to be tattoos, but paint or some kind of makeup. It’s unclear when Lincoln made the marks and police had no comment on them at the time of this report.

Ulta Beauty has banned Lincoln for life from all of its stores.

He faces a charge of making a terroristic threat in the first degree. Lincoln is currently being held at the Lee County Detention Center on $100,000 bond. If found guilty, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

It is the second time this year that someone has threatened to blow up a beauty and fashion store. However, that incident was a bit more involved than an alleged threatening phone call.

In June, Williams Rodriguez-Juarez was charged in Boston with unarmed robbery, bomb threat or hijacking, assault and battery on a police officer, strangulation or suffocation, trespassing, resisting arrest and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. Boston 25.

Rodriguez-Juarez’s long list of alleged crimes took place after he visited a Primark store while drunk and began shouting at employees near the store’s docking area. Police said he allegedly yelled sexual comments at employees and threatened to steal merchandise before threatening to “blow this place up.”

When police arrived, Rodriguez-Juarez allegedly struggled with a security guard and demanded police arrest the guard. They didn’t and instead tried to take him into custody. He allegedly fought back and even bit an officer who was trying to stop him.

He was arrested and arraigned in August.
