A “Star Wars” fan was arrested after sending a photo and threat of a school shooting to a friend.

Arthur Charles Roy, 18, was charged with felony assault with a weapon during a court appearance on Monday.

On Thursday, a friend of Roy’s posted a spoiler on Facebook, angering the suspect, who then sent a photo of himself with a gun accompanied by a threat to visit the friend’s school and shoot him.

The school was locked down on Friday morning, and Roy was arrested Friday afternoon. According to the Associated Press, Roy’s mother contends the gun in the photo was a BB gun.

TMZ has the threatening gun photo at the center of the case, as well as the (blurred out) spoiler that set off the suspect.
