Florida man jailed following 'multiple threats' against Trump: police

Six days after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, police in Jupiter, Florida arrested a local man for allegedly making violent threats against Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) on social media.

According to Law & Crime's Colin Kalmbacher, the threats — allegedly made by 68-year-old Michael Martin Wiseman — were posted on Facebook and Threads.

Police allege that in some of the posts, Wiseman praised the 20-year-old shooter at the Pennsylvania rally: Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by a U.S. Secret Service sniper that day.

An alleged Facebook post read, "Trump and Vance should be murdered before turning us in to West Russia." And another Facebook post, according to Kalmbacher, read, "I am advocating Trump and Vance's daughters get raped and THEN tell me they won't fly their kids out of the USA for an abortion."

Meanwhile, an alleged Threads post read, "Why is Trump allowed to be alive? We need to train patriots. Thomas Matthew Crooks deserves a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor, a stamp, and a national holiday."

In a July 19 press release, the Jupiter Police Department (JPD) explained, "After investigating the reports and the suspect's Facebook account, JPD detectives found that Wiseman had made multiple threats against Trump and Vance. Threats were also made concerning bodily harm to members of the Trump and Vance families. JPD coordinated the investigation with the United States Secret Service and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. JPD officers took Wiseman into custody without incident."

Kalmbacher reports that according to court documents, Wiseman was arraigned on July 20.

"Prosecutors moved for the defendant to remain in pretrial detention — arguing he is a threat to the community and that he is charged with a 'dangerous crime,' which, in Wiseman's case, means a felony in the first degree," Kalmbacher notes. "Typically, under Florida law, the crime Wiseman is charged with is considered a second-degree felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison."
