Justin Blaxton, a man from Loxahatchee, Florida, was arrested for making threats against former U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to the police, Blaxton called on February 26 and introduced himself as “Justin Blaze.” During the call, he repeatedly stated that he wanted to kill Trump. The authorities took his threats seriously and launched an investigation.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) filed a report, known as a probable cause affidavit, which detailed what Blaxton had said during his threats.
According to this report, he claimed that he was a Confederate soldier seeking revenge. He also stated that he had hacked into missile silos and was preparing to launch bombs.
He specifically mentioned New York as a target and allegedly said, “My missiles are attracted to Donald Trump’s towers.” This suggested that he was planning to attack Trump’s properties.
In addition to these threats, Blaxton also demanded transportation to the airport. He claimed that he wanted to go to Washington, D.C., to assassinate Trump at the White House.
He made another alarming statement, reportedly saying, “I want Donald Trump at my house. Tomorrow is his last day on earth.” This made it clear that he was serious about his intentions.
Law enforcement officers responded quickly to the situation. Given the nature of the threats and the mention of weapons, they treated the case as a major security concern.
Making such threats, especially against a former president, is a serious crime in the United States.
Even if someone does not actually have the means to carry out the threat, simply making the statement can result in criminal charges.
At this point, it is unclear whether Blaxton had any real weapons or access to missile technology, as he claimed.
However, the police took no chances and arrested him. He is now facing legal consequences for his actions.
Threats of violence, especially against public figures, are taken seriously by law enforcement.
