"(CNN)A former Olympic boxer from North Miami has been arrested and accused of threatening to shoot up a gym in South Florida, according to an arrest affidavit.

Azea Augustama, who represented Haiti at the 2008 Olympics, was arrested Tuesday after putting a deposit down to buy an AK-47 and was accused of three felonies -- two counts of issuing written threats to commit a mass shooting and one count of threatening to kill or do bodily harm -- the affidavit said.

CNN has reached out to his attorney for comment."
