MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) —
Authorities say a Pennsylvania man accused of threatening President Donald Trump and law enforcement officials is being sought in Ohio, where he is believed to have abandoned a stolen truck.

The U.S. Marshals Service says Shawn Richard Christy stole a truck Sunday from the area of McAdoo, Pennsylvania, and fled after abandoning it around 5 p.m. Sunday on Interstate 71 in the Mansfield area of northern Ohio.

Authorities say a federal warrant was issued June 19 for the 27-year-old McAdoo man in connection to alleged Facebook posts threatening to shoot Trump and a district attorney in Pennsylvania. Officials say he also threatened a police chief.

Pennsylvania warrants issued for Christy allege burglary, probation violation and failure to appear for an aggravated assault case. Authorities say Christy should be considered armed and dangerous.

But this guy has problems and needs to be locked up.

Federal authorities announced a newly increased reward of $20,000 for information leading to the direct arrest of Shawn Richard Christy.
Christy, 27, of McAdoo, is wanted for burglary, probation violation and failure to appear for an aggravated assault case. He has threatened to use "full lethal force on any law enforcement officer that tries to detain me," the U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release.

He is also wanted on a federal warrant issued June 19 for Facebook threats to the prosecutor, stating, "Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I'll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump," according to the release.
Christy is suspected of stealing a dark green 2001 Jeep Cherokee with Kentucky license plate. It was stolen Aug. 9 in Greensburg, Kentucky, and has a black hood. It also had "US Postal Service" and "Rural Carrier" magnets on the sides and back, and the steering wheel is on the right side. Christy is believed to have abandoned a stolen 2012 Toyota Tundra in the area earlier in the week.
