I think this might be a case where life imitates art or tries to but failed in the naming department because the guys name is Anthony Perkins not Norman Bates.
A man has been arrested after he threatened to shoot up a church in Faulkner County on Sunday.
After a medical evaluation, Perkins was taken to the Faulkner County Detention Center. He is being held on charges of first-degree terroristic threatening, which is a class D felony in Arkansas.
