(Reuters) - Missouri prosecutors charged a rural Illinois man on Saturday with making a 'terroristic threat' on social media, saying he planned to shoot two Kansas City Chiefs football players as they attended a country music concert.

The man, Aaron Brown, 23, of Winchester, Illinois, was arrested on Friday night at a Morgan Wallen concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where two members of the Kansas City Chief's football team also attended.

There was no violence reported at the event.

Brown told police that it was a "stupid, stupid, stupid mistake," the NBC affiliate KSHB (OTC:KSHB) reported, adding that he deleted the post made on social media site X before he actually arrived at the concert.

The football players were not named in the release from the Jackson County, Missouri prosecutors office.

The concert was delayed by 40 minutes as police went to detain the man, after the Kansas City FBI office obtained a waiver from X to find Brown's name and cell phone number, the NBC affiliate reported.

Police called Brown, and he told them where he was sitting with his girlfriend.

He was charged with the felony "Making a Terroristic Threat in the second degree," according to the prosecutors office. His bond was set at $15,000 early on Saturday.

Officials did not release whether or not he made bond by Saturday night.
