WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man has been arrested on charges of making online threats against President Donald Trump, police said Saturday.
A tip to the FBI threat center led to the arrest Friday night of Shannon Depararra Atkins, 46, West Palm Beach police said in a news release. He is charged with one count of written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism.
Atkins was arrested after a traffic stop and was found in possession of cocaine, leading to a drug charge as well.
