A North Carolina sheriff says a series of threats to a mosque began when members noticed someone had left packages of bacon at the door.

Pork is often used to insult Muslims because the meat isn’t allowed by the religion.

Hoke County Sheriff Hubert Peterkin said that a Chevrolet Tahoe was then seen departing the parking lot of the mosque.

The sheriff says the driver of the vehicle later made death threats to members of the mosque.

Authorities found firearms and ammunition in the vehicle.

A Muslim chaplain said a man showed a gun and said he wanted to blow up the mosque and later tried to run over several people.

The suspect, identified as Thomas Russell Langford, has been charged with ethnic intimidation and assault with a deadly weapon, among other counts.
