Comment on No charges filed against man accused of threatening Trump protesters

No charges filed against man accused of threatening Trump protesters

By Jake ZuckermanStaff writerThe Cabell County Sheriff said no charges will be filed against the man accused of threatening armed violence upon protesters at an upcoming rally for the president in Huntington. Sheriff Chuck Zerkle said U.S. Secret Service agents interviewed the man suspected of writing the Facebook post regarding expected activists at President Donald Trump's rally Thursday at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena and did not deem the threat to be serious enough to warrant charges. "Secret Service and all the other authorities have interviewed him and felt like, at this point, there will be no charges," Zerkle said. The alleged threat made the rounds on social media over the weekend, stemming from a Facebook account under the name of "Dana Capron." The original post and account have since been deleted, though a number of Twitter users have posted screen shots of it. "If we go then we go armed," the post reads.
