Florida Man Arrested for Facebook Posts Allegedly Threatening President Trump
Shannon Depararro Atkins, 46, was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida, on charges of making electronic threats against former President Trump.

Police also found cocaine on Atkins during the arrest, resulting in an additional drug charge. Following his arrest, Atkins was ordered by a court to have no contact with Trump or his family and to refrain from accessing the internet or weapons. The Secret Service is investigating whether federal charges will be filed.
