The arrest prompted a significant law enforcement response at the UnitedHealthcare campus. Officials have not released additional details about the incident or the suspect.
The arrest comes less than six months after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside a hotel in New York City on Dec. 4, a case that drew national attention.

Thompson was stalked by a masked gunman who used ammunition emblazoned with the words "deny," "defend," and “depose,” echoing a phrase used by insurance industry critics, law enforcement officials said.
The head of one of the largest U.S. health insurers, Thompson, died in an early morning ambush as he walked from his Midtown hotel to the company's annual investor conference at a Hilton across the street.
A husband and father of two sons, Thompson had been with Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare since 2004 and served as CEO for more than three years.
UnitedHealthcare provides coverage for over 49 million Americans and brought in more than $281 billion in revenue last year. It is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans in the U.S. and manages health insurance coverage for employers and state and federally funded Medicaid programs.
In December, Maple Grove, Minnesota, police responded to hoax bomb threats at homes connected to Thompson just hours after he was shot dead.
