The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into texts sent by a Duluth man, officials say.

Warren Crayton allegedly sent threatening texts mentioning terrorism, bombs and ISIS to his mother, who reported him to police, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Now, Crayton faces felony charges related to making terroristic threats, such as:

“I would expect the cops to do something after I ambush Atlanta tonight.”

“I might go down for it … possibly terrorism if I use a bomb.”

“I might have to shoot a cop in the face …”

“Imma try to make ISIS look like a kid’s club. (Expletive) America.”

Milton police Lt. Charles Barstow told Channel 2 that investigators immediately called federal officials.

“We’re shipping it to the FBI as soon as we can, saying, ‘Here it is; it’s on your radar, whether it’s real or not, that’s your job. We’ve done our job, he’s locked up. You guys are gonna have to take it from here.’”

Crayton was in the Fulton County Jail on Wednesday night.
