Sheriff's Office Reports Arizona Man Arrested After Allegedly Threatening to Assassinate Trump

Washington DC, August 24 :
A man from Arizona was apprehended on Thursday by the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. He had been wanted for making death threats against former President Donald Trump on social media.On August 22, while campaigning along the U.S. border with Mexico, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stopped in Cochise County.

The 66-year-old guy, Ronald Lee Syvrud, was wanted on numerous warrants out of Wisconsin, according to the sheriff's office. On Friday, authorities announced that he had been brought into prison on the afternoon of August 22nd.

Following this, Syvrud was taken into custody by the Cochise County Jail on a felony warrant issued by Graham County in Arizona. The warrant was for "failure to register as a sex offender and two counts of threatening for this case," according to the sheriff's office. He was held in detention until the matter was further decided by the court. "I am not that surprised (by the threat), and the reason is because I want to do things that are very bad for the bad guys," Trump said on Aug. 22, in response to a question regarding the threat lodged against him in Arizona.

In the run-up to the general election on November 5, this was the most recent in a string of threats directed against politicians. A guy from New Hampshire was taken into custody in December for making threats to assassinate Republican presidential candidates, and a man from Virginia was indicted in August for endangering Vice President Kamala Harris, who is Trump's Democratic opponent.

An attempted assassination on Trump occurred in July, when he was shot in the ear along with two others, killing one guy. There was a lot of focus on the United States Secret Service after the shooting. Because of this, the head of the agency decided to step down. In spite of this and other new dangers, Trump expressed on August 22 his "great respect" for the Secret Service and "the job they do," saying that the service will learn from its mistakes.
