Jacksonville Sheriff's Office officers wrote in a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, that officers were first called to the scene after a female security guard at Everbank Stadium said the man -- ID'ed as Walter Brown -- had made a threat toward her.

Peanut the Squirrel's tragic fate is stirring emotions across the Internet, but at least one town leader in Chemung, NY -- where Peanut's owner lives -- isn't rattled at all, and seems over the whole ordeal.
