The most recent Air Jordan restock had a lot of people confused. Nike had originally announced that the restock would take place a few weeks ago, but postponed the re-release and made it happen this week. One sneakerhead, a 17-year-old from Ohio, took his anger out on Nike, and it has landed him in serious trouble.

According to an ABC News affiliate in Cleveland, the northeast Ohio minor had tweeted at Nike, "I'm shooting y'all store up tomorrow @ 2:30 @nikecorp." And the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office didn't take the threat lightly.

The 17-year-old sneakerhead claimed he didn't hear about the Nike restock, but he is facing the felony charge of inducing panic. Ohio-area stores had to be put on alert because of the threat.

Getting a pair of Js isn't that serious. Ever.
