A Maine man has been arrested for making “threats of violence” toward a complete stranger over Xbox’s online gaming network, sending him typo-filled messages — with statements like, “I know we’re u live” and “u next person in line” — while also claiming he would “burn house to ground” and “kil” the victim’s family, cops say.

James Maynard, 32, of Pittsfield, was arrested on April 25 and charged with written or electronic threats to kill following an investigation by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office that had been going for more than two years.

Detectives began investigating a series of threats reported by a Palm Coast resident in November 2022 and eventually determined that Maynard was allegedly behind them. The victim was a juvenile at the time and Maynard was using anonymous Xbox account names to send menacing messages to the minor, cops say.
