A 62-year-old Alabama attorney had his mugshot taken while wearing a business suit and tie on Wednesday after being charged with making a terroristic threat to a state trooper during a traffic court appearance in Etowah County district court last week.

The charge against Frank Wayne Bailey is a felony. It isn’t clear from news reports what he is accused of saying, and Alabama.com says authorities are not providing details of his alleged statement to the trooper.

ABC News and the Gadsden Times also have stories.

The articles don’t include any comment from Bailey.
