An Arizona man who was being sought for allegedly making threats against former President Donald Trump is now in custody, according to law enforcement.
An Arizona man who was being sought for allegedly making threats against former President Donald Trump has been arrested, according to law enforcement. Ronald Syvrud, who is accused of threatening to kill Trump in multiple social media posts over the past couple of weeks, was taken into custody Thursday afternoon in Cochise County, according to county public information officer Carol Capas. Trump was in the county Thursday delivering remarks at the United States-Mexico border. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said they were made aware of a threatening social media message directed at Trump on Tuesday. “This message contained language that indicated bodily harm to the candidate,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook. A second social media post with threats against Trump was found Wednesday, according to authorities. Capas previously declined to name which platform the threats were made on. The sheriff’s office said “locating this subject was a priority” due to Trump’s visit to the area. “Intelligence developed led to a possible location in the St. David area and multiple units deployed to the location,” the sheriff’s office said. Syvrud was “taken into custody without incident” and booked on suspicion of two counts of threatening related to the social media posts, and a felony warrant from a neighboring county for failing to register as a sex offender, the sheriff’s office said.
