Man arrested in San Antonio for threats against President Trump

Authorities in San Antonio, Texas, have arrested a 52-year-old man accused of making threatening comments against U.S. President Donald Trump.

According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas, Robert Herrera posted threatening messages on Facebook during Trump’s recent visit to the flood-affected state, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

Investigators say Herrera wrote the phrase “I won’t miss” beneath a post featuring a photo of Trump taken on the day of a July assassination attempt. In a separate post, Herrera shared an image of an assault rifle along with ammunition magazines.

Herrera was apprehended the same day the posts were made. He now faces multiple charges, each carrying a potential prison sentence of up to five years.

The FBI, San Antonio Police Department, and the U.S. Secret Service are jointly conducting the ongoing investigation.
