A 36-year-old Alabama woman allegedly threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump, telling authorities she would “put a bullet through him” if he attended an Alabama-Georgia college football game.
Megan Lorraine Utz of Courtland was charged in a two-count federal indictment filed Oct. 22 with threatening the president and sending a threatening communication across state lines, authorities announced.
The criminal complaint alleges that Utz shared a news story on Facebook on Oct. 5 about Trump’s scheduled appearance at the Oct. 10 game in Tuscaloosa. She reportedly added: “He’s not allowed in my stadium! I’ll put a bullet through him if he dares.”
The story had originally appeared on the official Facebook page of WHNT, a CBS affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama.
Investigators identified the account, which used the name “Kase Utz,” by comparing its profile photograph with Utz’s Alabama driver’s license photo. Both images showed the same person and featured what the complaint described as “a distinctive neck tattoo.” Meta, Facebook’s parent company, also provided the account holder’s date of birth, which matched the information on Utz’s license, as well as recent location data connected to an address in Florence, Alabama.
On Oct. 6, federal agents and local police went to the Salvation Army in Florence. Employees told them Utz had departed in a light blue, two-door pickup truck and might be staying at a nearby “squatting house.”

Agents located the truck outside the house and knocked. Utz allegedly opened the door briefly before closing and locking it. A man inside gave investigators verbal permission to enter and search the residence. While officers were clearing the house, another man said Utz had fled on foot and pointed them in the direction she had taken. She was arrested on an unrelated warrant for harassing communications, and authorities seized her cellphone.
After receiving her Miranda rights, Utz was interviewed by investigators. She allegedly said she could not remember the last time she had accessed Facebook and claimed her phone had been hacked. The complaint quotes the exchange:
I asked Utz, “Why did you make that post?”, referring to the post threatening to put a bullet through President Trump. Utz responded, “I just wanted my phone scanned… and the next time that this happens, somebody always gets hurt and someone always dies.” I asked, “Whenever you make a post like that?” Utz replied, “Whenever somebody gets in my phone.” I then asked, “So you’re saying somebody got in your phone and made that post?” Utz stated, “I’m telling you, I’ve got screenshots of malware apps that take my password and load it into another app… and then load it into this little file. There is a file in my phone that says ‘QM,’ and in its description it says ‘exception,’ and this is the second time I’ve had to delete it.”
Utz allegedly went on to say that “malware” and “cyber stuff” on her cellphone could “hack into government systems,” adding that no one would listen to her. She then asked the agent, “How am I going to shoot him?”
Utz is scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 4.
