Police hunting for man accused of threatening Trump
A federal warrant has been issued for Shawn Richard Christy in connection to Facebook posts threatening to shoot the president.
A man accused of threatening Donald Trump is being sought in Ohio, where he is believed to have abandoned a stolen truck.
The US Marshals Service said Shawn Richard Christy stole a truck on Sunday in McAdoo, Pennsylvania, and fled after abandoning it on Sunday afternoon on Interstate 71 in the Mansfield area of northern Ohio.
Authorities said a federal warrant was issued on June 19 for the 27-year-old McAdoo man in connection to Facebook posts threatening to shoot the president and a district attorney in Pennsylvania.
Officials said he also threatened a police chief.
Pennsylvania warrants issued for Christy allege burglary, probation violation and failure to appear for an aggravated assault case.
Authorities say Christy should be considered armed and dangerous.
