Story highlights Police say the man threatened to harm himself

No one was injured

The incident prompted a school lockdown

(CNN) No one was injured Thursday at Arkansas State University, where police say a man drove onto campus with a shotgun, a can of gasoline and a large propane tank in the back of his truck.

"When we arrived, he was threatening himself," Jonesboro Police Chief Rick Elliott told reporters. "He was holding a shotgun under his chin."

At one point, Elliott said, the man poured gasoline on his own truck. At no time did he point his weapon at officers.

The chief said the man was taken into custody without incident and will face charges.

Tim Hudson, the school's chancellor, praised law enforcement for working together to achieve the "absolute best possible outcome."
