A Lebanon man was arrested Tuesday after a shooting threat was lodged against the Oregon Lottery, troopers say.

Jason David Ouellette

The Oregon State Police said Jason David Ouellette, 42, was arrested on suspicion of menacing Tuesday afternoon. The arrest came about 5-1/2 hours after an email with "an imminent threat to shoot and kill people" was sent to the Lottery's Salem headquarters, the law enforcement agency said.

Ouellette was jailed in Marion County without incident, troopers said. He's no longer listed on the county's inmate roster, and KATU-TV reports he was released from the jail because of overcrowding.

The state police didn't disclose any additional information about the threat in a brief news release Wednesday morning.
