A Florida woman is accused of threatening to shoot President Donald Trump, allegedly firing off the warning with the reasoning, “I’m bored.”

Miranda Rico Perez, 34, has been charged with making a written or electronic threat to kill or cause bodily harm to another person, according to Palm Beach County court records. The charge can be traced to a Facebook post she allegedly made on Monday.

“Hey Trump I’ma go to your Gulf course an be the next shooter lol I’m bored,” an account authorities tied to Perez wrote, per an arrest report reviewed by Law&Crime. The post included a laughing emoji as well as an emoji of hands raised in the air – generally used to express excitement.

The message ended with “be there soon,” alongside a smiling-face emoji.

Authorities were able to tie the profile to Perez because of several photos on the page matching her state ID, as well as the Facebook photos matching her “previous booking photo when she was arrested for making threats on Facebook to shoot up” a local elementary school.

That case stretches back to August 2019. A probable cause affidavit at the time detailed how a man contacted authorities after speaking with a woman, who police say is Perez, on Facebook Messenger. Perez was allegedly upset that her children were being moved to a new school.

The witness and the woman spoke on video chat, his sworn statements said, so he was clear who he was talking with. She allegedly stated that because she likes “violent things,” she intended to add Zachery Cruz as a Facebook friend, whose brother Nikolas Cruz was convicted of massacring 17 students and staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018. Perez reportedly referenced Nikolas Cruz, himself, too.

After their video chat, Perez reportedly messaged the witness: “I’m thinking of doing a school shooting at Barton,” a reference to Barton Elementary School in Palm Beach County, Florida, the school where her children were being moved.

“WTF,” the man responded.

“Yep,” she reportedly replied, saying it was their “fault.”

Perez later “confirmed” to authorities that she sent those messages and admitted that she did think about the crime, “but claimed she would never actually do it,” the court record continued. She was charged with making a threat to conduct a mass shooting.

She was later found to be “seriously mentally ill” and ordered to surrender all firearms and ammunition she owned.

According to online court records, Perez was deemed incompetent to stand trial in 2019. Two years later, her lawyers moved to dismiss the case, arguing that based on Supreme Court precedent, Perez should not be prosecuted when it is clear she would not regain competency to stand trial.  The judge, over the state’s objection, agreed to dismiss the case.

For the recent charge, Perez is being held in the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office’s Main Detention Center on no bond. She is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 4.
