Red, white and arrested too: Patriotic looking man accused of threatening to blow up a makeup store

A Louisiana man who threatened to blow up an Ulta Beauty store in Alabama has been arrested, according to WRBL .

Timothy Lincoln, 42, allegedly made a phone call outside an Ulta Beauty on Saturday morning. During the call, he allegedly told the person he was speaking to “I’m going to blow this s*** up!

An employee at the store who was outside allegedly heard him. The customers and employees inside were evacuated and police were called. It’s unclear from the complaint if Lincoln ever entered the store.

When police arrived at the scene, Lincoln was taken into custody. Opelika Police Department searched the area for explosives but found nothing.

Lincoln’s mugshot is striking; his beard is dyed blue, and his face is covered in colorful markings. The markings do not appear to be tattoos, but paints or some kind of makeup. It is unclear when Lincoln made the markings and police have not commented on them at the time of this report.

Ulta Beauty banned Lincoln for life from all of its stores.
