Birmingham man charged with threatening Pelham church employees

By Associated Press
PELHAM, Alabama -- The Pelham Police Department today obtained a felony warrant against a man police said threatened employees of Pelham First Baptist Church on U.S. 31 Monday morning.
David Poole Henderson, 28, of Birmingham is being sought on a charge of making terrorists threats, said Pelham Lt. Scott Tucker.
Tucker said Henderson entered the church at about 9:30 a.m., claiming to be one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and threatened people in the church office.
Church employees contacted police as Henderson left in a 2006 blue Chevrolet Silverado, Tucker said.
Based on the vehicle description, a Pelham officer stopped Henderson and saw the suspect had a bow and arrow in his vehicle.
"Henderson was released from the scene as there was no reason to arrest him at the time without further investigation," Tucker said.
After talking with church employees, Pelham detectives obtained the warrant through the Shelby County District Attorney's office.
No arrest has been made, officials said.
