President Donald Trump is visiting the victims of the flooding disaster in Texas, but one man took the opportunity to allegedly make a death threat and win a free trip to jail.
Robert Herrera, 52, of San Antonio allegedly made the threat on social media by implying that he would shoot the president on his visit to Kerr County. Trump previously survived an assassination attempt by mere inches during a Pennsylvania rally.
Herrera allegedly replied, 'I'll just come for you,' and added an image of loaded magazines and an assault rifle.
Herrera was taken into custody on Thursday evening, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Texas.
Court documents said that Herrera had posted the threat the same day in the Facebook comments section of a news outlet's article about Trump visiting Texas.
He allegedly posted the message, "I won't miss," on a photograph from the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the president.
When another account responded to him, "You won't get the chance, I promise," Herrera allegedly replied, "I'll just come for you," and added an image of loaded magazines and an assault rifle.
