A man from Tolleson has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of threatening to kill President-Elect Donald Trump.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Manuel Tamayo-Torres made threats on social media in November against Trump and his family.
Torres was also convicted in 2003 in California for Assault with Great Bodily Injury, and in 2023 an Arizona court issued an order of protection against him to restrain him from stalking, harassing or threatening his ex-wife.
He’s also been accused of lying about his felony conviction to purchase firearms, which he displayed in at least one of his social media posts and were found at his residence.
He was arrested in San Diego, and remains in custody.
If convicted, Torres faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
