A Center Township man, who told state police he has anger issues and could see himself hurting someone in his fits of anger, has been jailed for allegedly making a threat toward the Butler School District.

Benjamin David Jacox, 24, of 116 Grosvenor Ave., was arrested Monday on a charge of terroristic threats. Following his arraignment, he was sent to the county prison in lieu of $50,000 bail by Magisterial District Judge Lewis Stoughton.

In a criminal complaint, police said the threat was emailed to the Butler Eagle and was forwarded to the school district.

A perimeter lockdown was put in place for the high school and intermediate high school campuses. School records contained information about a previous student whose parents had the email address from which the threat was sent, police said.

Jacox admitted to police that he sent the email out of anger and knew it was wrong, police said. He told troopers that he has anger issues and there are firearms in his home, police said.

“The defendant related he could see himself hurting someone while he is in his fits of anger,” Jacox told police, according to the complaint.
