A Nevada man is facing federal charges after allegedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump, members of the MAGA movement and anyone else he encountered, prosecutors said. Investigators also say he boasted online about stockpiling firearms and ammunition.
“That orange pumpkin head would be ripe for popping with my 300 PRC that I just dialed in last weekend!” Jason Utlaut of Henderson allegedly wrote in a YouTube comment posted in September, according to a federal complaint.
A federal grand jury indicted Utlaut last week on a charge of threatening the president, court records show. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada said in a news release that he could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
“I’ve spent the last 18 months stockpiling weapons and ammo, I’m gonna kill every f—in Red Hat, every Maga a—hole, even Trump himself and anybody I can get ahold of,” Utlaut allegedly wrote in another post. “Yeah, they’ll get me in the end. But I’m gonna take thousands before they do #F—TRUMP.”
Utlaut’s arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 18.
In an Oct. 6 YouTube comment, Utlaut allegedly wrote, “F— the secret service and f— the FBI. Somebody needs to kill that piece of s— Trump. It might be me. if you got a problem with it. Come, find me, motherf—ers, I’ve got plenty of ammo to go around.”
Google LLC, YouTube’s parent company, notified the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center about the comments on Oct. 16. The company said it believed the posts indicated an “emergency involving imminent death or serious bodily injury” requiring government investigation, according to the complaint.
Google told investigators that the threatening comments were posted on the same YouTube channel, which used the name “VEGAS DEW,” the Justice Department said.

“D— I wish I was within a 1000yds of this motherf—er,” Utlaut allegedly wrote on Sept. 18. Prosecutors said the account’s posts dated back to June 28, when it allegedly threatened to shoot a woman in the head with a 10 mm handgun.
In a July 31 comment, the account allegedly stated, “Kill them, that’s what I’m going to do,” according to the complaint. Investigators linked the YouTube account to Utlaut through Google account records, a phone number, internet-provider data and payment information.
Authorities searched Utlaut’s apartment and seized firearms, magazines and ammunition. The complaint identifies semiautomatic pistols, AR-style rifles, shotguns and bolt-action rifles among the weapons recovered. Investigators said several appeared to have been purchased recently.
According to prosecutors, Henderson police arrested Utlaut after observing him speeding and running a red light. He allegedly had a 10 mm pistol in his truck at the time of the traffic stop.
During an interview, Utlaut allegedly told an FBI task force officer that he lived alone, no one else should have access to his internet and his apartment contained “safes full of firearms.” The Justice Department said investigators seized 15 firearms from his residence and vehicle.
Utlaut was first arrested on a Nevada state charge alleging that he made a threat or conveyed false information about an act of terrorism. The federal indictment accuses him of violating a law that prohibits threats against the president.
“Threats of political violence and mass murder have no place in our society,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto said in a statement. “Mr. Utlaut allegedly threatened the life of President Trump, promoted a mass shooting, and expressed a willingness to carry out horrific acts of violence.”
Delzotto added, “You cannot hide behind a screen, and you cannot escape accountability. Justice will find you!”
