Federal officials have arrested a man and accuse him of threatening to shoot Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and as many others as possible at the Michigan State Capital on June 2. The alleged threats were made on May 9 through emails to the governor and to Michigan State Police, according to an indictment charging the man with transmitting a threat.
The man was arrested in Hawaii, where the federal cases are filed.
In a court filing seeking charges, an FBI agent wrote that the man "wanted to kill Governor Whitmer because she was a Democrat, and he had been conducting online research to plan a trip to Michigan to carry out his threat."
The man was living without a home on the Oahu island, he called FBI agents and said he had sent the threats and still planned to follow through, and that he was in a voluntary mental health program at the time. Agents met with him at the hospital and he confirmed making the threats and said there was a 75% chance he would have "gone through with" his threats.
The man has previously been convicted for threats against President George W. Bush in 2006 and former U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway in 2012, according to the FBI filing.
