Man arrested for making terrorist threats against Police officers

On November 21, 2011 the Dothan Police Department Juvenile Investigative Division signed a warrant against Irby Jordan for making terrorist threats following a recent investigation. Investigators say they were recently called to a local business after the caller located questionable materials on a computer and agreed to turn the computer over to authorities for further investigation. Upon arrival, investigators came into contact with Jordan who appeared agitated by police presence and became increasingly disorderly when presented search warrants for his work space and residence. Jordan shouted threats at officers stating “You better call them off, or they are going to die!” after which officers attempted to take Jordan into custody. Jordan then became combative initiating a physical fight with police during which one investigator was violently shoved and one patrolman suffered a broken ankle. Officers were able to detain Jordan who again threatened investigators stating the electronics being evaluated would “explode in their faces”, causing alarm and cautionary procedures to be taken. At this time, investigators say they have evidence to charge Jordan for the threats and say the investigation into the original complaint remains open.
