SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (From news reports) -- A Springfield man faces charges of terrorism and inducing panic after an alleged threat of violence against a family member and her place of work led the business to lock down on Monday.

Michael Robinson, 41, is accused of verbally threatening the woman, who works at Pratt Industries, telling her that he would bring an AK-47 there, shoot up the place and "come bang on the ... door and beat her ..." according to court records.

Robinson reportedly called his relative in front of her managers, stating he would "come to the business and shoot her." A manager told police that Robinson parked in the parking lot of the business in a black Cadillac, causing Pratt to lock down.

About an hour later, police arrived on scene and found Robinson, according to court records. Robinson's relative told the manager that the gun was still in Robinson's trunk, and that he told her he would "bond out of jail and return to the business."

Another Pratt Industries employee told police he removed the firearm from Robinson's car, placing it in his own, according to court records.

Police collected an "AK47 style pistol," two loaded AK-style magazines and two loaded AR-15 style magazines. A manager told police that there were 75 employees present during the incident and a loss of $15,000 in wages.

Robinson also faces domestic violence and menacing charges related to earlier threats against his relative and then showing up at her job. He is currently in custody at the Clark County Jail.
