Police in Pennsylvania arrested a 22-year-old member of the National Guard after he allegedly threatened to kill Vice President Mike Pence.

WJAC TV reported Monday that William Robert Dunbar was charged with terroristic threats and disorderly conduct and is being held at Cambria County Prison on $250,000 bail.

On Saturday, Dunbar reportedly said on two occasions, "If someone pays me enough money, I will kill the vice president."

Dunbar allegedly made the threats at the U.S. Army National Guard Training Center in Richland Township, Pennsylvania. He was first evaluated at a hospital before being arraigned and transferred to the jail.

Pence visited Shanksville, Pennsylvania Monday to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. He gave a moving speech at the 9/11 memorial there to honor the victims of Flight 93.
