Roanoke County Police say they've arrested a man, after receiving a tip that he was planning to kill a neighbor.
Officer J.N. Herron arrested Richard Horne Senior this past Saturday.
Horne Sr. is accused of violating a protective order for stalking. Horne Sr. is charged with having a gun, although he had been involuntarily committed to a mental health institution.
That's a law the General Assembly strengthened after the April 16th tragedy at Virginia Tech, and has been termed the "Cho law."
In court documents, Officer Herron wrote that he found a rifle hidden behind the headboard of Horne Sr.'s bed.
