A man has been arrested after allegedly threatening a Tulsa hospital in the wake of a shooting at another area hospital last week that left four victims dead.
Matthan Staerkel, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, was taken into custody Sunday for a terrorism hoax, according to online jail records.
Staerkel was at Hillcrest Medical Center around 11:45 p.m. Saturday when a nurse overheard him threatening an active shooter situation, FOX23 Oklahoma reported, citing a police report.
The nurse told police that the man was talking loudly about needing back surgery, saying, "I better get pain meds after back surgery! If I don’t get pain meds, I will do what that other guy did the other day! I would shoot up someone too if I didn’t get pain meds."
