Authorities said Robulock is facing one charge of threatening to discharge a destructive device.
Robulock told MCSO deputies the military was flying helicopters over his residence, adding that he would “launch rockets at them if they flew below 1,000 feet,” Linhardt said.
He stated, “If these (expletives) keep flying over my house, they’re going to get a rocket,” according to authorities.
Robulock was taken into custody without incident.
Linhardt said authorities notified the U.S. Navy of Robulock’s statements and subsequent arrest.
