A Lake County man was charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump, according to a release from the US attorney’s office.
Trent Schneider, 57, of Winthrop Harbor was ordered detained when he appeared in court Monday on charges of “making a threat in interstate commerce to injure a person.” He allegedly posted a video on Instagram threatening to buy guns and kill Trump, according to a criminal complaint.
“I’m going to get some guns,” he said in the video. “I know where I can get a lot of (expletive) guns and I am going to take care of business myself. I’m tired of all you (expletive) frauds. People need to (expletive) die and people are going to die. (Expletive) all of you, especially you Trump. You should be executed.”
A resident in Florida reported the video to law enforcement, according to the complaint.
Schneider is scheduled to appear in court at a detention hearing Friday.
