Threatening to kill someone is a crime in many areas. Since this person demonstrated a violent personality with his other tweets, I assume the police found him to be dangerous enough to arrest him.
I mean really, jokingly saying you'll kill someone probably won't get any attention form the authorities anywhere, but when a violent person makes a threat against a very notable individual it's going to capture attention and lead to an investigation to determine whether the person may have attempted to carry out the threat.
