SEATTLE ¨C A Montana man has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to shoot a student for divulging a plot line from the newly released ¡°Star Wars¡± epic, court documents showed on Tuesday.

Police say Arthur Roy, of Helena, got ¡°angry¡± with a student he had befriended on Facebook after the boy gave up a subplot to ¡°Star Wars: The Force Awakens¡± during an online conversation last week.

During the online fight that ensued, Roy is alleged to have posted a photo of himself in which he appears to brandish a gun, which he indicates is a Colt 1911 with a ¡°hair trigger,¡± according to a probable cause affidavit.

The affidavit also says the boy was fearful Roy was going to come to ¡°shoot him.¡±

Roy also said he was ¡°coming to find¡± the boy, whose school was placed on security ¡°lock down¡± after officials saw the exchange, according to the affidavit.

¡°The victim was afraid it was a legitimate threat,¡± said Melissa Broch, a deputy attorney for Lewis & Clark County. ¡°The victim believed that the defendant might come to his school and harm him.¡±

¡°Star Wars: The Force Awakens¡± opened with a record-breaking $248 million at the U.S. and Canadian box office, and $529 million globally over its opening weekend, Walt Disney Co. said on Monday.

The film marks the seventh installment in a newly rebooted ¡°Star Wars¡± franchise.

Roy was arrested Friday on suspicion of assault with a weapon, a felony. He made an initial appearance in Lewis & Clark County Justice Court on Monday, after which he was ordered held on $10,000 bail, Broch said.

It is unclear whether Roy is still in custody, Broch said. He is likely to be arraigned in a state district court at some point in January, she said.
