BELVIDERE, NJ — A man was arrested after threatening to shoot a judge at the Warren County Courthouse Friday morning, the sheriff's office said.

Nelson A. Martinez is accused of calling the courthouse just after 10 a.m. on Friday, saying he was going to shoot a judge in 44 minutes, Warren County Sheriff James J. McDonald said. The courthouse and the schools, which are located nearby, were immediately put on lockdown.



This was not the first threat Martinez made this week, McDonald said.
