A man has been charged with making a ‘terroristic threat’ after allegedly threatening to shoot Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes during the Morgan Wallen concert at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday night.
Chiefs stars Kelce and Mahomes escorted Wallen on stage for the performance.
According to Just Jared, the players were specifically named in a tweet that caught the attention of police monitoring security at the event, although prosecutors substantiated only that two members of the Chiefs organization were threatened.
Jean Peters Baker, the Jackson County Prosecutor, stated that Aaron Brown from Winchester, Illinois, was charged after police noticed his tweet that evening. Brown attended the concert with his girlfriend.
‘Officers were overseeing potential threats at a scheduled concert when they became aware of a threat made on X (Twitter) against two individuals who are members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization present at the event,’ the statement indicated.

‘The defendant informed police of his whereabouts at Arrowhead. The concert faced a 40-minute delay while authorities located him.’
According to police reports, Brown deleted the tweet, referring to it as a ‘stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.’
His girlfriend reportedly warned him against posting the tweet, but he did so anyway, asserting that no one would see it.
Chiefs quarterback Mahomes attended the concert with his wife, Brittany, while Kelce, currently dating Taylor Swift, is on leave as she tours Europe with her successful Eras Tour.
‘The defendant confirmed to police where he was positioned at Arrowhead. The concert was delayed for 40 minutes as police sought him out,’ stated the prosecutor’s announcement.
‘The defendant faced charges earlier today, with a bond set at $15,000. Prosecutors are requesting a cash bond of $250,000.’
Wallen donned a No. 7 Chiefs jersey, a number shared with Mahomes and Kelce’s teammate Harrison Butker, whose name was not on the back of the garment.
Butker stirred controversy this year with comments made during a speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, asserting that women’s primary role is as homemakers.
‘It is my belief that women have been misled. While some may lead successful careers, many are most excited about marriage and motherhood,’ Butker asserted.
‘My wonderful wife Isabelle believes her true fulfillment began with her role as a wife and mother,’ he added. ‘I owe all my success to her support.’
‘I’m incredibly fortunate to have the talents bestowed upon me by God, but my achievements are largely due to the girl I met in middle school band class who became my wife and embraced the vital role of homemaker,’ Butker concluded.
