Man threatened to shoot officers, Pembroke Pines Police Department says

A 40-year-old man called the Pembroke Pines Police Department and threatened to shoot officers Thursday, officials said.

Jean Boursiquot called the department’s records unit around 10 a.m. about a police report, and during the call, he became upset and said, “This is why people commit murder,” the Pembroke Pines Police Department said.

“The call was disconnected but Mr. Boursiquot called back soon after and said he was on the way to Police Headquarters because, ‘I want to shoot police,’ ” the agency said.

The department sent investigators to find Boursiquot, police said. Officers located him near 3301 North Park Road in Hollywood, and he was “safely taken” into custody.

Boursiquot is accused of one count of making threats against a law enforcement officer.

He did not have an attorney or arrest records publicly available as of 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Broward County courts. He was also not listed in jail records.
