In Texas, a man has been arrested for threatening mass violence and ominously delivering flowers intended for future memorials, according to state law enforcement officials.

Identified as Luis Armondo Diaz Mendez, 34, he faces charges of making terroristic threats designed to incite widespread panic, as reported by the San Antonio Police Department.

The incident unfolded in the early hours of New Year’s Eve at The Ringer Pub, a bar on Thousand Oaks Drive situated in San Antonio’s Oak Hollow neighborhood.

Initially, Diaz Mendez was physically removed from the pub around 1 a.m. after causing a disturbance, leading to a ban on his return, according to an arrest affidavit cited by local ABC affiliate KSAT.

However, authorities say Diaz Mendez came back, bearing what he called a “gift.”

Around 1:30 p.m. that same day, the defendant came back with a “bouquet of flowers” in hand, according to surveillance footage cited by the affidavit. Then, he allegedly approached a worker near the bar area, placed the bouquet down, and said: “These are for you.”

Next, Diaz Mendez asked the employee if the pub had his black iPhone that he left while being kicked out. After retrieving the digital device, he was told “he needed to leave the premises,” police said.

But the defendant allegedly responded with a chilling question.

“You don’t work Tuesdays, do you?” Diaz Mendez allegedly asked.

As the woman began to respond, Diaz Mendez allegedly interrupted to say: “Stay away from it. Stay away from next Tuesday night.”

Again, the worker told the defendant to leave and that he should “stay away from the location,” police said. This suggestion, however, apparently infuriated Diaz Mendez. The woman said he picked up the bouquet and then flung it back down onto the bar.

Then came a harrowing clarification, law enforcement said.

“Those are flowers for the people about to get murdered,” Diaz Mendez allegedly said as the petals shook and he finally left the pub.

The worker then called 911 and reported that she feared for her safety and her co-workers’ safety due to the defendant’s words, according to an arrest report obtained by local NBC affiliate WOAI.

The worker who called police later identified Diaz Mendez from a photograph, authorities say. The defendant was subsequently arrested over the weekend and booked into jail the next day.

Diaz Mendez is currently being detained in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on $30,000 bond. In the event the defendant is able to post bond, he will be placed on house arrest, court records show.
