Two days later, after a member of the public reported him to police, 31-year-old Evans was arrested and eventually charged with the felony 'terrorist threatenings' and faced between five and 10 years behind bars. He tells Billboard: "It's surreal, I didn't think anything would come of it. I couldn't believe it got that out of hand."

Evans, who has a wife and an infant son, has had his case deferred for six months for him to undergo a court-ordered mental assessment, for which he has not yet been given a date. He has been told that so long as he complies with the resulting report, the charges will be dropped and erased from his record. He says: "They can watch all day. I don't do anything wrong. I pretty much work and come home. That's it."
