A Florida man, Shannon Depararro Atkins, 46, was arrested near his West Palm Beach home for allegedly making online threats against President Donald Trump.

Police said Atkins posted violent rhetoric, including a meme referencing a 2024 assassination attempt, on Facebook.

He claimed the posts were jokes, but authorities emphasized the seriousness of such threats, ABC News has reported.

The arrest followed an FBI tip, and Atkins was also found in possession of cocaine.
