Cops: Man arrested after threatening 'Honey Boo Boo' stars

A man faces felony charges after McIntyre police say he threatened on Facebook to shoot two stars of TLC's reality series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," according to TMZ.

"Honey Boo Boo" was canceled earlier this year after reports surfaced that Shannon was dating a former flame and convicted child molester, Mark McDaniel -- who is the father of two of her children and who had allegedly abused one of her daughters.

Shannon has vigorously denied the reports that she and McDaniel were together. But she told TMZ recently that she had seen McDaniel after he was released from prison in March.

"I'm human, I made mistakes and done wrong, but no one is perfect," she said.

Husband Sugar Bear has since reportedly returned to their home to work on their relationship.
