During one of these phone calls, Robert threatened to go to the Clare VA Clinic and shoot the place up if he was not seen on this date. 

The Clare VA Clinic was placed into lockdown while the threats were being investigated.  Robert was arrested at his residence and was lodged in the Clare County Jail.  He was arraigned in the 80^th District Court Clare County on the charge of malicious use of a telecommunication device.  His bond was set at $100,000 bond with 10% accepted.  Robert posted bond on January 18.
