White was located at a home in Phoenix around 9 p.m. on Friday and later admitted to sending the message to Arizona@Work during an interview with police.

“I am incredibly proud of the exemplary work our detectives have accomplished in such a short period of time,” Sheriff Jerry Sheridan said in a press release.

“Their prompt action and unwavering dedication led to the swift apprehension of this individual. Let me be clear, making threats towards anyone in our community is unacceptable, and we will continue to respond decisively to ensure the safety of our residents.”
