MONROE COUNTY, Mich. – A domestic terror threat posted on social media targeting the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is being investigated.
On Saturday, Jan. 2 the MCSO was notified about the social media post. In the online post a man threatened to harm the law enforcement agency and blow up its building if the MCSO did not send someone to arrest him by Jan. 13.
Later the man threatened to kill anyone who attempted to arrest him for any reason and noted that his post should be considered a terrorist threat.
The man was identified as a 37-year-old from Gaylord with ties to the Monroe County area. Law enforcement officials later learned the man was upset about a pending Friend of the Court hearing.
