TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested Friday after he allegedly made threats against President Donald Trump.

The FBI was alerted to “concerning” social media posts made by Shannon Depararro Atkins, 46, according to the West Palm Beach Police Department.

“I’ve been banned from X because I said I hope and pray someone kills him,” Atkins wrote in one Facebook post, according to WPBPD. “History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

“Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America,” Atkins wrote in a post about Trump’s inauguration, according to WPBPD.

Atkins was arrested during a traffic stop near his home on Friday. WPBPD said he had cocaine on him at the time of his arrest.

He admitted to making the posts, according to WPBPD. Atkins has been charged with written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism and possession of cocaine. He may also face federal charges.
