An Indianola man has been charged with threatening terrorism after allegedly trying to buy a gun from a friend so he could "kill a lot of people," according to a criminal complaint filed by the Warren County Sheriff's Office.

According to the complaint, Trey Sudbrock, 21, of Indianola was first arrested Nov. 24 on domestic assault charges and a no contact order was filed, ordering him to stay away from the victim. He posted bond on the domestic abuse charge and was released from jail.

Sudbrock was arrested again Dec. 3 for violating that no contact order and allegedly killed his girlfriend's dog while violating the order, according to the complaint.

He was arrested a third time on Dec. 23 by the Warren County Sheriff's Office for animal torture in connection with the killing of the dog.

Then, on Dec. 26, Lt. Michael Morrison received a message stating Subrock contacted a friend about wanting a firearm so he "could kill a lot of people," according to the complaint.

Sgt. Jon Wilbur verified the allegation with Sudbrock's friend, who is identified as a former classmate and roommate to Sudbrock in the complaint.

The friend said Sudbrock offered $2,000 to purchase a fire arm.

"(The friend) told Trey that he was to leave him and his family alone, that he wanted nothing to do with whatever Trey was involved in or was planning," according to the complaint. "(The Friend) told Sgt. Wilbur Sudbrock had contacted several other 'friends' but would not say whom, about trying to acquire a fire arm."

Sudbrock is being held at the Marion County jail for threatening terrorism, a Class D-Felony.

According to the complaint, Sudbrock was charged with threatening terrorism because he threatened to cause terrorism to be committed and "caused reasonable expectation of fear of the imminent commission of such an act."
