Man arrested for threats made at Houston’s Ismaili Center
A 29-year-old man was arrested over the weekend on a terroristic threat warrant after allegedly making death threats at Houston’s Ismaili Center Houston last month.
Jacolby Poindexter, 29, was arrested Saturday, according to records, before posting a $30,000 bond on a terroristic threat charge Sunday.
In mid-April, Poindexter allegedly drove onto the property on Allen Parkway and spoke with a security guard, pretending to know him. Once on the property, he allegedly began making derogatory comments to a volunteer.
“Muhammad had a 9-year-old wife; he’s worse than Epstein,” Poindexter allegedly told the volunteer, adding, “This is our hood, and you guys are taking over.”
The volunteer told Poindexter to leave the property, but he allegedly refused, saying he wanted to visit, according to court records.
That’s when the rhetoric allegedly became more violent, with Poindexter repeatedly saying he would return and “kill all the Muslims and Jews.”
