Man arrested for threats to kill on San Antonio's Main Avenue 'Strip' days after Las Vegas attack

Police in Oklahoma City arrested a man who posted multiple Facebook updates Tuesday night threatening a mass shooting in San Antonio as the country reeled from the massacre in Las Vegas.

Roderick Lamar Robinson, 39, was charged with a terrorism hoax under Oklahoma law and faces a charge in Bexar County of making terroristic threats. He also had an active warrant out of Bexar County for possession of marijuana.

Tuesday night, San Antonians took to social media to warn their friends to avoid North Main Avenue, a hub for the city's LGBTQ community.

Robinson, who goes by Rod Lamar on Facebook and commutes between San Antonio and Oklahoma City, posted a slew of garbled updates threatening to "kill all" patrons in the area.
