Manuel Tamayo Torres is accused of threatening to kill President Trump, as evidenced in a number of disturbing videos posted online, according to court documents.
His mugshot and age have not yet been released to the press by authorities. Additionally, some sources say he was arrested in Southern California, while others claim he was arrested in Arizona, where he resides.

According to reports, the court documents do not directly identify Trump, referring only to him as “Individual 1.” However, court documents identify “Individual 1” as a public figure, a “former” president, and the current president-elect.
Court documents say Tamayo-Torres said in a video posted to Facebook last Thursday:[Individual 1] you will die, [Individual 1]your son will die. the whole family will die, [Individual 1]. This is your current reality. This is the only reality in your future, [Individual 1]die. ”
Tamayo-Torres also threatened to shoot Trump in another video, holding up “what appeared to be a white AR 15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine inserted.”
“You are not white,” he continued in the video. “You won't get anything. Aryan money, that's all you have. You lowlife scum. I'll spit in your mom's face, and if I get a chance, I'll… I’m going to bury you myself.”
