A 24-year-old Clearwater man is in federal custody after prosecutors say he posted Facebook threats to shoot President Donald Trump. The alleged threats came days before Trump's Monday, Oct. 19, rally in Park City.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas filed a criminal complaint Saturday, Oct. 17, charging Jaden J. Read with one count of making threats against the president under 18 U.S.C. § 871. If convicted, Read faces up to five years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000, according to the Wichita Eagle.

A Crime Stoppers tip on Thursday, Oct. 15, led investigators to four Facebook comments Read allegedly posted under local TV news articles about Trump's planned Wichita-area visit, according to a U.S. Attorney's Office news release.

Prosecutors allege Read commented on a KAKE News post: "Let's shoot Trump honestly, where's our shooter?" He then allegedly posted a second comment claiming he had ammunition and intended to kill the president.

On a separate KWCH 12 News post, Read allegedly wrote that he would shoot Trump himself and claimed to have "mapped out roofs" near the rally site, the criminal complaint states according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Authorities arrested Read on Saturday, Oct. 17, in Clearwater. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Oct. 19 that Read would remain in federal custody pending a detention hearing. No hearing date or attorney for Read appeared in federal court records as of Monday, Oct. 19, the Eagle reported.

"Political violence and threats of political violence will not be tolerated," U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser said in the news release. "The First Amendment allows for robust disagreement but there are constraints."

Five agencies investigated the case: the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Wichita Police Department.

The charge is an allegation. The charge is an allegation, and Read is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
