A man convicted of threatening to "pick-off" firefighters after he called 911 is back in the custody of Sarpy County authorities, days after he left an evaluation center.
Jani Jekabson, 55, was arrested late Thursday night.
The Omaha Fire Department had issued a safety alert to firefighters and paramedics when Jekabson left a mental health facility last Friday. He was awaiting sentencing for making terroristic threats earlier this year.
Investigators found several guns in Jekabson's apartment after his initial arrest in the spring
The Omaha Fire Department thanked law enforcement on Twitter early Friday morning for "catching this dangerous individual."
