The note was left in the bathroom at the Greenwich Township store, police say.
A 28-year-old employee of a Warren County Target faces charges after allegedly leaving a threatening note in the store's bathroom.
"I have a gun come find me," said the paper found Wednesday afternoon, according to Greenwich Township police.
(AP File Photo) The store was evacuated about 1 p.m. with the assistance of officers from Pohatcong and Lopatcong townships, Greenwich police said in a news release on Facebook.
Authorities arrested Travis Cheatum, of the 100 block of Lewis Street in Phillipsburg, and charged him with making a false public alarm, a third-degree crime that can carry a three-to-five-year sentence if convicted.
Cheatum was released pending a court date Thursday, police said. A phone listing for him could not be found.
The Target is less than half a mile from a Wal-Mart where 18-year-old Joseph Otto, of White Township, is accused of falsely reporting a gunman four times in less than a week. Pohatcong police allege Otto made the phony calls out of boredom.
