A Pennsylvania man accused of threatening President Trump and law enforcement officials has been arrested in Ohio. The U.S. Marshals Service says Shawn Christy was arrested Friday afternoon in Mifflin Township, near Columbus, by marshals and task force members from Ohio and Pennsylvania. A federal warrant was issued June 19 for the 27-year-old Hazleton area man in connection to Facebook posts threatening to shoot Trump and a district attorney in Pennsylvania. Officials say he also threatened a police chief. Warrants allege burglary, probation violation and failure to appear for an aggravated assault case. Authorities say Christy stole a truck Sunday in Pennsylvania and fled after abandoning it Sunday on Interstate 71 in the Mansfield Ohio area, about 65 miles north of Columbus.
