Bethel Park, Pennsylvania – Just days after a Pennsylvania man attempted to assassinate the 45th president, a Florida man has been accused of making “written death threats” against former President Trump, Senator J.D. Vance, and their families.
The Jupiter Police Department announced that 68-year-old Michael M. Wiseman was arrested Friday on suspicion of writing death threats.
Authorities allege Weissman posted threatening messages to his Facebook account against the Republican presidential nominee and vice presidential candidate, as well as members of the Trump and Vance families.

“JPD conducted the investigation in coordination with the U.S. Secret Service and the Palm Beach County Prosecutor’s Office,” the department said in a statement. “JPD officers took Wiseman into custody without incident.”
