BURNET COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A 45-year-old man was arrested after allegedly making a false report surrounding a Sunday incident at a church in Burnet, Burnet County Sheriff Calvin Boyd said during a media briefing on Monday.
On Sunday, BCSO was searching for two suspects who were outside the church, and a safety team member said he confronted them both before they got into a white minivan and drove away northbound on U.S. 281, Boyd said. However, a thorough investigation into the incident found the man lied to law enforcement and others about the incident, Boyd said.
The safety team member allegedly fired multiple rounds, which he said caused both men to get into the minivan, Boyd said. He said there was never a van, nor were there two men.
“There were no hostile actions taken or directed at the church by any persons, and no weapons brandished towards the church,” Boyd said during the briefing. “At no time was the safety of the congregation in jeopardy.”
