Cagle's family said they heard about the threats and immediately notified Cartersville Police, who authorities said has had past run-ins with Cagle, a previously convicted felon.

Cartersville Police immediately told Atlanta Police, who notified airport security and they immediately began searching for Cagle. His family told police he was driving a Chevrolet flatbed pickup truck, which authorities found parked right outside the airport at the S1 doors at the South Terminal.
