LINDEN, Tn (WOPC) - A Henderson County man has been arrested for 'threats of mass violence' following a series of posts on Facebook, according to Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems. 
 

The posts were made on a Facebook forum allegedly while discussing a recent vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Larry Bushart, 61, was taken into custody in Perry County following an initial investigation. 
 

"One of the images posted by Mr. Bushart eluded to a hypothetical shooting at a place called Perry High School" the Sheriff told WOPC. "That message caused considerable concern within the community and we were asked to investigate" Weems added. 
 

This may not be Bushart's first arrest. A search indicates Bushart appears to have been attested for an unrelated indecent in Henderson County in 2012. Bushart is listed as a retired law enforcement officer out of Madison County. 
 

"This serves as a reminder that statements made on social media can have consequences" Weems told WOPC. "Threats of violence especially comments made towards our children will be investigated" the Sheriff noted. 
 

Bushart faces one charge of 'Threats of Mass Violence on School Property' his bond was not indicated.
