A 39-year-old woman from West Virginia faces allegations of threatening to assassinate Donald Trump, reportedly using social media to attempt to gather support for her plan.

Morgan Leigh Morrow was apprehended on Sunday and now confronts a felony charge for making terroristic threats, as indicated by documents examined by Law&Crime.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release detailing that Morrow’s arrest was the result of a “comprehensive investigation” carried out by sheriff’s detectives alongside the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations. Investigators claim to have evidence that Morrow, a resident of Ripley, West Virginia, utilized social media platforms to solicit individuals for the purpose of assassinating President Trump.

Although the sheriff’s office has refrained from releasing specific details about the investigation into Morrow, it made clear that the announcement of her arrest was “not intended to be a politically-oriented statement.”

“This remains an ongoing criminal investigation with significant and concerning elements,” the release notes.

Morrow was transported and booked into the South Central Regional Jail. A bond amount had not been set as of Monday morning.

While authorities did not reveal what Morrow is accused of writing, Inquisitr reported that she posted about seeking someone to shoot the president.

“Surely a sniper with a terminal illness can’t be a big ask out of 343 million,” she allegedly wrote in an online post.

A LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Morrow says that she has been a full-time parent since June 2009 and states that the 39-year-old has patience that “comes from being a full-time mom for 13 years.” Her education is listed as graduating from Marietta High School in Ohio in 2005.

Inquisitr further reported that Morrow is employed as a librarian at the Jackson County Public Library.

Morrow over the weekend also reportedly authored a profanity-laced Facebook post that called for Trump voters to be “shot in the face three times at point-blank range.” The post appears to be in response to federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shooting and killing protester Alex Pretti multiple times after the licensed gun owner had been disarmed.

“You had a hand in causing what is happening today, and I can only hope you suffer as much as the immigrants, the people of color, the LGBTQ+ people have suffered for generations, and how much mothers and nurses are suffering right now because you actively condemned them to this injustice with your vote,” the post apparently says. “We told you what would happen and you ignored us.”
