According to reports, Yee was arrested after ESPN reported to local police that he had made threatening posts in the comments section of an online ESPN story.
Yee reportedly said he wouldn't mind killing kids who were planning to purchase LeBron James' new shoes that retail at $270. Reports indicate Yee said he would like to do somethingsimilar to the shooting in Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were killed and 58 were injured in a movie theater shooting.
He is being held on $1 million bail.
Police reportedly found several guns in Lee's house, which overlooks an elementary and middle school.
