The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona announced the arrest of a man wanted after he threatened on social media to kill former President Donald Trump.
The man, Ronald Lee Syverd, 66, had multiple outstanding warrants out of Wisconsin, but they had not yet been served, the county sheriff’s office said, adding that he was taken into custody Thursday afternoon.
“Sifrud is in county custody on a criminal warrant from Graham County, Arizona, for refusing a legal order to provide a DNA sample after being charged with a sex crime in a previous case and two counts of threatening to kill Trump in this case,” the office added. “He is currently in custody awaiting further court action.”
In early August, a Virginia man was charged with threatening Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s Democratic rival, and a New Hampshire man was arrested in December for threatening to kill Republican presidential candidates. In July, a bullet hit Trump in the ear in an assassination attempt that wounded two others and killed one man.
