One of the Men Behind the Band Perry’s Concert Cancellation Is Arrested

Posted on July 5, 2016

The Band Perry cancelled their concert in Shelbyville, Del., on July 3 after two men allegedly made alarming statements to employees at the Americana Bayside Welcome Center. The cancellation came less than a month after former Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was killed by a crazed fan during an autograph signing in Orlando.

Dzmitry N. Papou was charged with a felony account of terroristic threatening.

Police announced today (July 5) that Dzmitry N. Papou, 35, of Shelbyville, had turned himself in on July 4 and was charged with a felony count of terroristic threatening. He was released on a $20,000 bond and issued a no-contact order with the Welcome Center. Police have identified the second man, but no arrest has been made yet.

The sold-out concert was expected to draw approximately 2,400 fans before the Perry siblings issued a post on their Instagram account to let fans know the show was cancelled and rescheduled for Aug. 17.

To our friends + fans in Delaware – Due to heightened security concerns, and for the safety of our fans, the show has been rescheduled for August 17. While we are sad we don’t get to see you tonight, we love you and consider your wellbeing and security our top priority. We’ll see you soon. 💛
