JOLIET, IL — A Crest Hill man threatened to show up at the home of his old girlfriend's new boyfriend and said he was going to shoot the place up with an AK-47, according to police.

Luis Ponce, 22, texted his former girlfriend's new boyfriend once late Wednesday night and again early Thursday morning, police said.

The new boyfriend, a 21-year-old, lives on Connecticut Avenue in Joliet, police said, but happened to be out on the town in Naperville with Ponce's former lover when the threatening texts were sent.
