Shannon Mathre was arrested on Feb. 6, according to the Justice Department.

During the investigation, the man was found to have child sex abuse materials on his phone, federal prosecutors said.

The man’s lawyer said his health makes it unlikely he would have been able to carry out the threat.

It is unclear where the defendant made this alleged threat, though a statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi suggests DOJ leaders contend it was online.

Ohio man allegedly threatened to kill Vice President JD Vance during January visit. Federal agents also found that he had child sexual abuse materials.
