KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. State Police say that Douglas Buell’s mistake was sending threatening texts and voice mails to his estranged wife back here in West Michigan.

In those messages he allegedly made more and more violent threats, including his plan to commit murder/suicide, taking them both out.

She became so concerned that she called State Police and they greeted him when he flew back from Las Vegas to Ford International this weekend, arresting him.

Buell is being held on 75-thousand dollars bond for stalking and malicious use of a phone.
