A man who threatened to shoot his stepdaughter because he didn't like who she was dating forced a 1 1/2-hour lockdown of Carlisle Hospital, state police said Wednesday.

The incident began just after 4 p.m. Tuesday when Tony Hughes, 51, of Arendtsville, accosted his 28-year-old step-daughter, Emily Rex, while she was working at the South Middleton Township medical facility, Trooper David Highhouse said.

Hughes demanded that Rex get her boyfriend. When she refused he threatened to shoot her, although he didn't display a gun display, the trooper said. He said Rex fled back into the hospital, which was locked down.

Troopers rushed to the scene, which is just a few hundred yards from the Carlisle State Police Barracks, but could not find Hughes. Troopers from Gettysburg later arrested Hughes at his home on charges of making terroristic threats, stalking, harassment and disorderly conduct, Highhouse said.

Hughes was in Cumberland County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bail.
