On Wednesday Chance Bandy found himself behind bars in the same jail he allegedly threatened to bomb.

Bandy called the Hays County Sheriff's Office around 9:26 a.m. said he wanted to talk to a detective or sergeant, according to a news release.

When the dispatcher asked him questions to find out more about what he needed, Bandy allegedly grew agitated and threatened to bomb the jail.

The threat prompted a lockdown as authorities, including the San Marcos and Austin police departments, searched the jail, the sheriff's office and the parking lot. The lockdown was lifted after no explosives were found.

Bandy, 35, was arrested and charged with making a terroristic threat, a Class-B misdemeanor.
