James made “threats against law enforcement” and stated he was “ready for war and wanted to go out shooting,” according to a narrative provided by UCPD in his booking records.

After UCPD officers pulled behind James’ vehicle, they were eventually able to get him out of his car and to comply with their commands, according to records.

James is prohibited from having firearms, his conditions of bond show.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 28, court records confirm.
