Corey Dellinger (Lubbock County Detention Center).

A Texas man is facing charges of stalking and making terroristic threats after allegedly unleashing a series of public outbursts and menacing comments on multiple people, including a chilling confrontation where he threatened to stab a man in front of his wife and children as they sat at a park picnic table, according to police.

Corey Dellinger, 36, is charged in Lubbock County for the alleged threats, which were posted on social media and uttered in public in recent days and months, according to the local CBS affiliate KLBK. Online jail records show that he has been locked up for nearly a week after being arrested by Lubbock police.

Dellinger allegedly hurled threats at strangers and a family member whom he accused of “sleeping with his wife,” according to court documents obtained by KLBK. He was recently released from a mental health facility, KLBK reports, citing the documents. But it”s unclear when.

Before police were called on him, Dellinger was allegedly “making threats of harm and death towards family,” according to the court documents. The picnic table incident happened on July 9, the same day Dellinger began allegedly threatening his loved ones and random people in public, in addition to posting online threats over the past few months, cops say.

“Watch me murder my [family member],” Dellinger allegedly wrote in a post in March, according to KLBK.

For the picnic table threats, the targeted father reported the incident to police and told investigators Dellinger randomly approached their table and began to ask questions about his children. The father tried offering a handshake, which allegedly set Dellinger off and was taken as a threat by him, per the court documents. Dellinger allegedly claimed he was going to get a gun to kill the man before walking away.

In another incident, Dellinger allegedly stopped a stranger and told them he was with “Anonymous,” without clarifying. The person thought Dellinger was a YouTuber before he threatened to “get her” with a knife that he displayed, according to the court documents.

Dellinger was also allegedly spotted standing on a local dam in Lubbock at one point, shouting threats at people.

He was being held Monday on bonds totaling $130,000.
